Websites like datingtopgirls[.]com in general

Datingtopgirls[.]com is a potentially malicious website designed to open other dubious pages and to trick visitors into allowing it to show notifications. It is unlikely for datingtopgirls[.]com to be visited by users on purpose (most users open sites like datingtopgirls[.]com unintentionally).

How did adware install on my computer?

One of the most popular ways to distribute unwanted apps is to bundle them with other (mostly free) programs. Unwanted applications can be rejected before finishing downloads and installations. Users agree to download or install shady apps by finishing downloads or installations without changing "Advanced", "Custom", or other available settings.

In other cases, users cause unwanted downloads and installations by clicking on advertisements designed to run certain scripts or through fake installers. It is important to know that fake installers can be used to distribute malware (like ransomware, Trojans)

How to avoid installation of  unwanted applications?

Downloaders and installers with checkboxes or "Manual", "Custom" and "Advanced" or other settings often should be checked for offers to download or install potentially unwanted applications. Software (and files) should be downloaded only from official websites and through direct links.

Advertisements that appear on questionable sites should not be clicked (they can be designed to trigger unwanted downloads, installations). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
