Quite often, PUAs function as data collectors - they gather IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, visited pages, and other data of this kind. In n some cases, they collect sensitive information (for example, passwords, credit card details, names, surnames).

Another issue is that gathered information may be sold to third parties (potentially cybercriminals), used for marketing purposes, to steal personal accounts, or monetized in other ways. Furthermore, PUAs can be designed to generate advertisements.

Also, PUAs can be designed to display banners, coupons, pop-up ads, surveys. It is common for ads generated by PUAs to be used to promote questionable websites. In some cases, they are designed to download or even installation of unwanted software by running certain scripts.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

Seumsiden[.]online is similar to rcgaxg[.]com, news-ciwuwi[.]cc, allhotfeed[.]com, and many more. Most of these pages use clickbait techniques to trick their visitors into giving them permission to show notifications and promote untrustworthy pages. Also, users rarely visit them by themselves (on purpose).

How did adware install on my computer?

Pretty often, potentially unwanted applications are distributed through downloaders and installers for free programs (by bundling them together with other programs). As a rule, those downloaders have checkboxes or "Advanced", "Manual", "Custom", or other options. Those settings can be used to opt out unwanted applications.

If users do not change those settings, they agree to download or install other (bundled) applications. In some cases, users unexpectedly download or install PUAs by clicking ads designed to run certain scripts. As a rule, ads of this type do not appear on legitimate, trustworthy websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Files and applications downloaded from unofficial websites, third-party downloaders, torrent clients, eMule (and other Peer-to-Peer networks), and similar sources should not be trusted - they might be used to distribute unwanted software. It is recommended to use official pages and direct links to download software (and files).

Downloaders and installers that have "Manual", "Custom", "Advanced", or other options, or ticked checkboxes should be checked for offers to download or install potentially unwanted applications. Unwanted applications should be deselected before completing downloads and installations.

Advertisements displayed on shady pages should not be clicked. It is possible that those ads might download or install unwanted software or open potentially malicious sites. Unwanted, suspicious apps (plug-ins, or add-ons, extensions) installed on a browser should be removed.

If there are any unwanted programs installed on the operating system, they should be uninstalled as well. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
