Therefore, most of them get downloaded and installed accidentally. More examples of pages that are more or less similar to allcommonblog[.]com are ribngh[.]com, wholecommonposts[.]com, and nipwaghue[.]com.

It is very common that websites like allcommonblog[.]com ask for permission to show notifications. However, most of them use one or another clickbait technique to trick visitors into giving them a permission to show them.

For example, they display a fake CAPTCHA claiming that visitors need to click the "Allow" button to prove that they are not robots. Websites like allcommonblog[.]com should never be allowed to show notifications.

As a rule, users who agree to receive their notifications start getting notifications containing deceptive ads, untrustworthy website links, etc. A couple of examples of notifications that allcommonblog[.]com displays are provided below.

Another problem with allcommonblog[.]com (and other pages like it) is that it could open download pages for adware, browser hijackers and other potentially unwanted applications, various scams like "Chance To Win The New iPad Pro", "Your System Detected Some Unusual Activity", and other potentially malicious, deceptive websites.

Typically, pages like allcommonblog[.]com open more than one untrustworthy website (about two or three of them). Browsers that open pages like allcommonblog[.]com are likely to have a PUA installed on them.

It is worthwhile to mention that apps of this kind can be designed to serve coupons, banners, pop-up ads, surveys, etc. It is common that those ads are designed to open shady websites.

In some cases, they can be designed to cause unwanted downloads, installations by executing certain scripts. Furthermore, most PUAs operate as information gatherers - they collect data related to browsing habits (for example, Internet Protocol addresses, visited pages, entered search queries, geolocations).

PUAs can be designed to access sensitive details as well. It is important to know that gathered information could be monetized by selling it to third parties (potentially cybercriminals), used for marketing purposes, or misused in other ways.

It is strongly recommended not to have any PUAs installed. It is noteworthy that apps of this kind tend to be advertised as useful.

Nevertheless, most of them are useless and can be the culprit of various issues. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to avoid downloading and installing apps of this kind.

How did adware install on my computer?

In most cases, users download or install PUAs when they are bundled with other programs. In such cases, PUAs can be found included in downloaders, installers for other programs as extra offers.

Typically, additional offers can be declined in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings (or by unticking ticked checkboxes) that those downloaders, installers have. Users agree to download or install PUAs when they finish downloads, installations without making any changes in the aforementioned settings.

Sometimes users accidentally download, installs PUAs by clicking deceptive ads. Some ads can cause unexpected downloads, installations by running certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Downloaders and installers with ticked checkboxes or settings like "Advanced", "Manual, "Custom" are likely to be bundled with potentially unwanted applications. Therefore, they should be checked for offers to download or install unwanted apps, and those apps should be opted out.

Apps and files should be downloaded from official pages and via direct links. It is not safe to open files downloaded via Peer-to-Peer networks (like eMule, torrent clients), unofficial websites, third-party downloaders, or install through third-party installers.

Advertisements on questionable pages should not be clicked as well. By clicking those ads, users open other shady pages or allow them to run certain scripts and cause unwanted downloads, installations.

Unwanted, suspicious, or unknown extensions, add-ons, or plug-ins installed on a browser should be removed, software of this kind installed on the operating system should be removed too. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
