What is agazinethede[.]biz?
Agazinethede[.]biz opens questionable, potentially malicious websites or displays deceptive content (it uses a clickbait technique to trick visitors into agreeing to receive its notification).
The way agazinethede[.]biz functions depends on the geolocation of its visitors. It is worth mentioning that there are many websites like agazinethede[.]biz, for example, mahaidroagra[.]com, attohearally[.]biz, and pesoaniz[.]com.
Most of them are promoted through potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), untrustworthy websites, and advertisements. In other words, most of these pages get visited unintentionally.
It is known that agazinethede[.]biz is designed to load a fake CAPTCHA test suggesting that it is necessary to click the "Allow" button to prove that a visitor is not a robot. In other words, agazinethede[.]biz is designed to trick visitors into agreeing to receive its notifications.
Websites like this one should never be allowed to show notifications - most of them display notifications used to advertise potentially malicious websites, questionable applications, etc. Also, agazinethede[.]biz is designed to promote other websites.
In most cases, pages like agazinethede[.]biz are used to promote scams like "Norton Antivirus 2021 Update", "Instagram Copyright Infringement", "Chrome Search Contest 2021" and other pages used to extract personal information. Also, sites like agazinethede[.]biz can be used to promote download pages for browser hijackers, adware-type applications, and other unwanted applications designed to serve advertisements, promote fake search engines, collect various data.
For these reasons, it is strongly recommended not to visit agazinethede[.]biz or websites that it opens. As mentioned in the introduction, it is common for pages like agazinethede[.]biz to be promoted via PUAs.
Apps of this kind often are designed to generate advertisements and collect data. Usually, they display coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, and other ads used to promote shady websites.
It is important to mention that sometimes ads displayed by PUAs can be designed to download or even install unwanted software by running certain scripts. Examples of information that PUAs gather are IP addresses, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, geolocations. Although, PUAs can be designed to access passwords, telephone numbers, credit card details, and other sensitive data.
Either way, it is strongly advisable not to have questionable apps that can gather data installed on browsers or operating systems.

In conclusion, PUAs can cause problems related to browsing safety, online privacy, or other issues. Most of them are useless to their users, even if they are advertised as legitimate, useful applications. In most cases, potentially unwanted apps are designed to display advertisements, gather various data, and (or) promote various shady pages. In other words, the main purpose of PUAs is to generate revenue for their developers.
How did adware install on my computer?
It is known that most users download and install potentially unwanted applications when those apps are distributed through downloaders, installers for other programs - when PUAs are included in downloaders or installers as additional offers. Typically, additionally included applications can be opted out/offers to download, install them can be declined through settings like "Advanced", "Custom", or by unticking ticked checkboxes.
Users cause unwanted downloads, installations when they leave those settings unchanged (when they leave default settings unchanged). In some cases, users cause unwanted downloads, installations by clicking deceptive advertisements designed to run certain scripts.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Third-party downloaders and installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), questionable pages, etc., are sources that can be used to distribute PUAs or even malicious applications. For this reason, it is highly advisable to download all files and programs from official websites and through direct links.
Downloaders and installers that include checkboxes or settings like "Custom", "Advanced" should be checked for bundled applications. Unwanted apps should be opted out before a download or installation process is finished.
Advertisements on dubious websites (e.g., on pages related to pornography, gambling, adult dating) should not be clicked as well. There are two main reasons not to click ads on those pages: they can be designed to advertise untrustworthy, potentially malicious websites or to cause unwanted downloads, installations.
Unwanted applications (extensions, plug-ins, or add-ons) installed on a web browser should be removed. The same should be applied to the software of this kind installed on a computer.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
