How to uninstall apps designed to promote attohearally.biz?

What is attohearally[.]biz?

Attohearally[.]biz is an untrustworthy page designed to check visitor's IP address and then open other pages of this kind or load deceptive content. There are many sites like attohearally[.]biz, for example, rlongletterit[.]biz, enuebenet[.]biz, and yitmethissu[.]biz.

Typically, users do not visit them intentionally - these pages get opened through shady advertisements, websites or by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). It is worth mentioning that it is uncommon for PUAs to be downloaded and installed on purpose.

In most cases, websites like attohearally[.]biz use one or another clickbait technique to trick visitors into allowing them to show notifications (into clicking the "Allow" button). These pages ask users to click the "Allow" button to prove their age, that they are not robots, etc.

This particular page suggests that visitors need to click that button to continue loading its content. It is important to mention that notifications from websites like attohearally[.]biz are used to promote questionable websites, potentially unwanted applications, etc.

Therefore, attohearally[.]biz and any other untrustworthy website should not be allowed to show notifications. Another reason not to visit attohearally[.]biz is that it may open potentially malicious websites used to trick visitors into providing personal information (e.g., credit card details, login credentials), downloading and installing unwanted software (e.g., browser hijackers, adware).

A couple of examples of unreliable pages that attohearally[.]biz may be designed to open are "Important Defender Update Available", "Chance To Win The Brand New Playstation 5", "Norton Antivirus 2021 Update". These are the two main reasons why websites like attohearally[.]biz should not be visited.

It is common that pages like attohearally[.]biz are promoted through potentially unwanted applications. It is worth mentioning that apps of this kind can be designed to generate advertisements and collect various information.

They can generate coupons, pop-up ads, surveys, banners, and other ads used to promote shady, potentially malicious pages. In some cases, they can display ads designed to download or even install some other PUA by running certain scripts.

Examples of details that apps of this kind collect are IP addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, addresses of visited websites, and other browsing-related data. Although, some PUAs may be designed to gather data that could be used to steal identities, personal accounts, make fraudulent purchases, transactions, etc. Therefore, it is highly advisable not to have any PUAs installed neither on browsers or operating systems.

In conclusion, websites like attohearally[.]biz promote other pages of this kind or encourage visitors to agree to receive notifications containing shady advertisements or other questionable content. In one way or another, it is highly advisable not to visit websites of this kind.

Also, it is strongly recommended not to download or install applications promoted through questionable channels. It is worth mentioning that PUAs can be advertised as completely legitimate apps. Although, most of them are useless and can be the culprit of various issues.

How did adware install on my computer?

It is common for potentially unwanted applications to be distributed using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". In such cases, PUAs are included in downloaders, installers for other programs as additional offers. This distribution method works when users download and install programs without checking downloaders and installers for unwanted offers. In most cases, those downloaders, installers have "Advanced", "Manual", "Custom" or other settings/options, or ticked checkboxes.

Users can use those settings to reject offers to download or install potentially unwanted applications. It is worth mentioning that PUAs can be distributed through advertisements that can run scripts designed to cause downloads or even installations. Although, those ads start downloads or installations only if they get clicked.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Applications and files should not be downloaded from unofficial or questionable web pages, via third-party downloaders, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, and so on (or installed via third-party installers). It is common for the aforementioned sources to be used to trick users into downloading or installing potentially unwanted applications.

Apps (and files) should be downloaded from legitimate, official websites and via direct links. Downloaders, installers with settings like "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", ticked checkboxes often include additional offers.

Therefore, it is recommended to check those settings/options (opt out unwanted apps) before finishing downloads, installations. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid clicking advertisements that questionable, shady websites have on them.

Those ads may be designed to download or install unwanted software (or open potentially malicious pages). Any unwanted, suspicious extensions, plug-ins or add-ons 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.
