Pages like erewasnos[.]xyz in general
Erewasnos[.]xyz and similar pages should never be allowed to show notifications. Their notifications promote potentially malicious websites (some of them can open legitimate sites). Pages like erewasnos[.]xyz are promoted through dubious advertisements, shady websites, and potentially unwanted applications.
How did adware install on my computer?
It is common for potentially unwanted apps to be distributed together with other programs. They can be found in downloaders and installers for other programs as optional offers. PUAs get permission to be downloaded or installed when users leave "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", or other settings unchecked, or checkboxes ticked.
Also, unexpected downloads or installations are caused by clicking on advertisements capable of executing certain scripts or through fake installers. The majority of advertisements and fake installers used to distribute PUAs are encountered on potentially malicious websites.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Applications, files should be downloaded from official websites and via direct links. Downloads from unofficial pages, Peer-to-Peer networks, third-party downloaders, and other sources could install PUAs or malicious software. Downloaders and installers with "Custom", "Advanced" or other settings, or ticked checkboxes should be examined.
Advertisements displayed on pages related to gambling, pornography, adult dating, or other questionable pages should not be clicked. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
