How to remove applications force-opening the ourzitemu.com website?
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is ourzitemu[.]com?
Ourzitemu[.]com is a rogue site sharing many similarities with my-live-videos-leakes.com, lookvideonow.eu, irkantyip.com, and thousands of others. This webpage operates by presenting visitors with questionable content and/or redirecting them to various pages (likely unreliable or malicious websites).
Users usually access such websites unintentionally; most get redirected to them by rogue sites, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). This software can infiltrate systems without express user permission.
Ourzitemu[.]com in detail
The first thing ourzitemu[.]com does when it is accessed - is check the visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address. This is done to learn the visiting user's geolocation, which dictates the website's further course of action. Hence, whether visitors are presented with dubious material and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations.
Furthermore, rogue pages use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick users into enabling their browser notifications. Ourzitemu[.]com is not an exception to this, and should its notifications be allowed - the site will start running intrusive advert campaigns.
The delivered ads are more than just a nuisance, they also pose a threat to device and user safety. Intrusive advertisements promote various untrustworthy, rogue, deceptive/scam, compromised, and malicious websites. Some of these adverts can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs) - once clicked on.
How do potentially unwanted applications operate?
PUAs can have a variety of harmful functionalities, and these functions can be in different combinations. To elaborate, these apps can force-open sites and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns. What is more, most PUAs have data tracking abilities.
Information of interest includes: URLs visited, webpages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, and so forth. PUA developers monetize the collected data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).
To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can result in system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft. Therefore, it is highly recommended to remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

Potentially unwanted applications in general
PUAs appear legitimate and harmless. They also offer various "handy" features, which are rarely operational. The only purpose of unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers; hence, functionality and user safety are irrelevant. PUAs operate by causing redirects, delivering intrusive advert campaigns, and collecting private data.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with ordinary software. "Bundling" is the term that defines this false marketing method of packing regular programs with unwanted or malicious additions. These supplements can be left unmentioned or hidden within the "Custom/Advanced" download/install settings.
By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g., ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Easy/Express" settings, etc.), users risk inadvertently allowing bundled content into their devices, thereby endangering the systems with potential infections.
Intrusive advertisements are also used to spread PUAs. Once clicked on, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user consent. PUAs may have "official" promotional sites from which they can be downloaded and/or purchased.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is important to research software before download/installation and/or purchase. Only official and verified download channels must be used. Dubious sources, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer dangerous content.
When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, explore possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings to opt-out from additional apps, tools, functions, etc. Intrusive adverts appear legitimate; however, they redirect to questionable sites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, and so on).
Should users experience such ads and/or redirects, they must inspect their devices and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?
Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.
Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
