How to uninstall apps designed to open akemewelsu.biz?

What is akemewelsu[.]biz?

Akemewelsu[.]biz is an untrustworthy page that promotes other websites of this kind or loads its deceptive content (it depends on visitor's geolocation).

It is similar to awesomenewspush[.]com, get-your[.]cash, rtenmy[.]com, and many other pages. Usually, users open them by clicking unreliable advertisements, or they get opened via untrustworthy websites, installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

In other words, it is uncommon for pages like akemewelsu[.]biz to be visited on purpose. It is worthwhile to mention that users often download and install PUAs unknowingly.

As mentioned in the introduction paragraph, akemewelsu[.]biz promotes questionable, potentially malicious pages. It is common that a page like akemewelsu[.]biz opens various scams designed to trick visitors into providing/entering personal information (e.g., "Chance To Win The New iPad Pro", "Instagram Copyright Infringement"), downloading unwanted applications (e.g., adware, browser hijackers).

It is common that after visiting a page like akemewelsu[.]biz at least a couple of untrustworthy websites get opened. Either way, it is strongly recommended not to enter any information on or download applications from pages that sites like akemewelsu[.]biz are designed to promote.

Another issue with akemewelsu[.]biz and other similar sites is that most of them use one or another clickbait technique to trick visitors into agreeing to receive notifications from them. It is common that they display a fake CAPTCHA test asking to prove that visitors are not robots or show other deceptive messages encouraging them to click the "Allow" button.

Akemewelsu[.]biz loads a message claiming that it is necessary to click the "Allow" button to continue loading the page. As a rule, websites like this one show notifications used to advertise shady websites, questionable applications, and so on.

PUAs that promote pages like akemewelsu[.]biz can be designed to collect various information. It is common that apps of this kind gather browsing-related details like IP addresses, geolocations, visited websites, entered search queries.

Although, certain PUAs can be designed to access personal information (e.g., passwords, credit card details). It is not safe to have PUAs that can access personal information installed on browsers or computers: they may be monetized by selling gathered information to third parties (potentially cybercriminals), using obtained data for marketing purposes, or in other ways.

In other words, PUAs can be the reason behind problems related to web browsing safety, online privacy, identity fraud, or other issues.

To summarize, after visiting websites like akemewelsu[.]biz users often end up on other untrustworthy pages. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to visit such sites.

Apps that are designed to open them should not be installed as well. It is common for PUAs to be advertised as useful.

However, most of them do not have any features or are useful in any other way. Instructions on how to uninstall PUAs from browsers and computers are provided below.

How did adware install on my computer?

It is common that users download or install potentially unwanted applications when they are distributed using a "bundling" method. In such cases, PUAs can be found included in downloaders or installers of other programs as extra offers.

Those downloaders, installers have checkboxes, or "Custom", "Advanced", or other similar settings. Their settings can be used to decline unwanted offers.

Nevertheless, not all users check and change the aforementioned settings when they download or install programs. When users leave default settings unchanged, they agree to download or install bundled applications.

In some cases, users unknowingly download, install PUAs by clicking deceptive ads. However, only when they click ads that are designed to execute certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Applications (or files) downloaded via questionable channels like Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., eMule, torrent clients), from unofficial websites, through third-party downloaders, etc., or installed via third-party installers are not trustworthy. Apps and files should be downloaded from official pages and using direct links.

Other sources, channels can be used to distribute unwanted, malicious programs. Furthermore, it is important to remember that downloaders and installers that have settings like "Advanced", "Custom" (or checkboxes) are likely to be used to distribute PUAs.

For this reason, those downloaders, installers should be checked for offers to download or install potentially unwanted apps. One more way to avoid unwanted downloads, installations is to avoid clicking ads that appear on shady pages.

Those ads often are used to promote deceptive, dubious pages or distribute (download, install) unwanted programs. Any unknown, unwanted extensions, plug-ins, or add-ons installed on a web browser and software of this kind installed on the operating system should be removed/uninstalled.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
