How to uninstall software causing redirects to the fewergkit.com site?

What is fewergkit[.]com?

Fewergkit[.]com is a rogue website similar to loloclicks.biz, leefmylife.info, hisurnhuh.com, substandid.space, and countless others. This page is designed to load dubious material and/or redirect visitors to various sites (likely unreliable and malicious ones).

These webpages are rarely accessed inadvertently; most get redirected to them by untrustworthy websites, intrusive ads, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). This software can infiltrate systems without explicit consent; hence, users may be unaware of its presence.

Fewergkit[.]com in detail

Once fewergkit[.]com is entered, it first checks the victor's IP (Internet Protocol) address to lean their geolocation. This data determines the site's further course of action. In other words, whether visitors are presented with questionable content and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, webpages of this type use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, and other deceptive statements or instructions - to trick users into enabling their browser notifications. Fewergkit[.]com is not an exception to this. Should visitors allow this website's notifications, it will begin running intrusive advert campaigns.

The delivered advertisements are more than just a minor nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. When clicked on, the adverts redirect to various dubious/malicious sites, and some can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

How do potentially unwanted applications operate?

Potentially unwanted applications can have a wide variety of harmful functionalities, which can be in different combinations. To elaborate, these apps can force-open websites and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns. Additionally, most PUAs have data tracking abilities.

This software monitors users' browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collects vulnerable information extracted from it (IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc.). The gathered data is then shared with and/or sold to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

To summarize, the presence of unwanted apps on devices can result in system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft. It is advised to remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

PUAs appear ordinary and harmless. Users are enticed into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of various "handy" functions. However, the features seldom work as advertised, and in most cases - they are utterly nonoperational.

The sole goal of unwanted software is to generate profit for the developers; it has no genuine value for the developers. Instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects to untrustworthy and malicious webpages, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect personal and sensitive information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed via download/installation setups of other programs. This false marketing method of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is termed "bundling". Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps, etc.) increase the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the system.

Intrusive advertisements proliferate PUAs as well. Upon being clicked, the adverts can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission. PUAs may also have "official" promotional/download sites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research software before download/installation. Additionally, all downloads must be performed from official and verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled and dangerous content.

Download and installation processes must be approached with care. Therefore, it is recommended to read terms, explore possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, and other additions.

Intrusive ads appear legitimate; however, they redirect to various unreliable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.). In case of encounters with such adverts and/or redirects, the system must be checked and all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - removed from it without delay.

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