Potentially unwanted applications in general

Users do not visit oataltaul[.]com and similar websites intentionally. Most of the times, these pages get opened through other sites of this kind, shady ads or installed PUAs. PUAs can be designed to collect data and (or) generate ads. Most users install PUAs unintentionally.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most PUAs are distributed through downloaders and installers for other programs, advertisements designed to execute certain scripts, or fake installers. Users download or install PUAs with other programs when they do not deselect optional downloads or installations using "Custom", "Advanced", or other settings.

Advertisements cause unexpected downloads or installations when users click on them. Most of those ads are displayed on untrustworthy websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Programs and files should be downloaded from legitimate, official pages and via direct links. Downloaders and installers with settings like "Custom", "Advanced" (or ticked checkboxes) should be examined. They can be used to distribute PUAs.

Advertisements displayed on untrustworthy websites (for example, on pages related to pornography, gambling, adult dating) 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.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
