Potentially unwanted applications in general

Users do not visit pages like dwhenmyfe[.]xyz intentionally. These sites get opened through other untrustworthy pages, shady advertisements, or installed PUAs. It is strongly recommended not to ignore these pages and not to allow them to show notifications.

How did adware install on my computer?

The majority of PUAs are distributed using enabled-by-default download or installation options. Users download or install PUAs when they do not change "Custom", "Manual", "Advanced", or other settings in downloaders and installers for other programs.

Also, users download or install potentially unwanted applications by clicking on advertisements designed to execute certain scripts or through fake installers. Usually, fake installers look like the installers for legitimate programs or updates.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to download applications from official websites (and via direct links). Third-party downloaders (and installers), unofficial websites, Peer-to-Peer networks, and other sources of this kind should not be trusted. Advertisements appearing on shady websites should not be clicked as well.

One more way to avoid unwanted downloads or installations is to decline unwanted offers before downloading or installing programs that are bundled with PUAs. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
