What is dcareyouto[.]top?

Dcareyouto[.]top shares similarities with forseisemelo[.]top, bomero[.]net, ourtopstories[.]com, and many other pages. These pages are designed to open other websites (mainly questionable ones) and load deceptive content (usually, to trick visitors into agreeing to receive notifications from them).

Dcareyouto[.]top in detail

It is known that dcareyouto[.]top loads a blue page with a message stating that some file is ready to be downloaded and can be downloaded by clicking the "Allow" button. The problem with clicking the aforementioned button while visiting this page is that this allows dcareyouto[.]top to show unwanted notifications.

Research shows that dcareyouto[.]top shows notifications containing links to untrustworthy pages that may be asking to provide personal information (e.g., credit card details, usernames, passwords). Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to allow dcareyouto[.]top or any similar page to show its notifications.

One more reason not to visit dcareyouto[.]top is that it could open download websites for adware, browser hijackers and other unwanted applications, or even malicious files, programs. Also, this page could open pages designed to trick visitors into providing sensitive information, making money transactions.

It is common that individuals behind pages like dcareyouto[.]top monetize them by getting paid a referral fee. In such cases, a page like dcareyouto[.]top opens some legitimate page, and if a visitor creates an account, purchases a product, service on that page, then individuals behind a page like dcareyouto[.]top get paid a certain amount of money.

Another important detail about websites like careyouto[.]top is that users do not visit intentionally. In most cases, these sites get opened through untrustworthy advertisements, websites, or by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that users have installed on their computers (or browsers).

More about potentially unwanted applications

PUAs can be designed to generate advertisements and (or) gather various data. They generate coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, or other advertisements. Those ads can be designed to open untrustworthy websites. Sometimes they can execute certain scripts designed to cause download or installation of some unwanted software.

Also, PUAs can be designed to collect geolocations, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries, IP addresses, and even more personal data. Moreover, collected information could be used for marketing purposes, shared with third parties (potentially cybercriminals), or misused in other ways.

Dcareyouto[.]to and similar pages in general

As a rule, dcareyouto[.]top and similar websites are promoted through PUAs, unreliable pages, shady advertisements - users do not visit them on purpose. Most of these pages are designed to trick visitors into allowing them to show notifications (or load other deceptive content) and promote dubious pages.

How did adware install on my computer?

It is common that users download or install PUAs together with other programs - when PUAs are distributed by bundling them together with other programs. In such case, PUAs can be found in downloaders, installers for other programs as additional offers. As a rule, users can decline unwanted offers before finishing downloads, installations.

It can be done by unticking ticked checkboxes or through "Custom", "Advanced" or other settings that downloaders, installers for programs that are bundled with PUAs have. When users leave those checkboxes ticked or settings unchanged, they download or install both wanted and potentially unwanted programs.

Also, unwanted downloads and installation can be caused by clicking shady advertisements. More precisely, by clicking advertisements that are designed to execute certain scripts. As a rule, advertisements of this type do not appear on trustworthy, legitimate websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Unwanted downloads, installations can be avoided by downloading files, programs from official websites and via direct links. Other sources, tools (e.g., third-party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks, unofficial websites, free file hosting pages) can be used to trick users into downloading (and installing) unwanted apps.

Also, it can be avoided by checking downloaders and installers for "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual" and other settings or checkboxes, and seeing if they can be used to decline/deselect unwanted offers. It is common that downloaders, installers for free programs include additional offers.

One more way to avoid unexpected downloads, installations is not to click ads that questionable pages have on them. In some cases, those ads can run certain scripts designed to download or install unwanted apps. Unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins already installed on a browser should be removed. The same should be with apps of this kind installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
