Mailclick[.]biz and similar pages in general
Mailclick[.]biz is similar to news-gemara[.]cc, to2s[.]biz, news-cetugu[.]cc, and plenty other pages designed to promote other shady pages and ask for permission to show notifications. It is strongly recommended not to trust these pages or allow them to deliver notifications. As previously mentioned, these pages can be promoted through PUAs.
How did adware install on my computer?
One of the ways to cause unwanted downloads and installations is through downloaders and installers for other programs that have "Advanced", "Custom," or other settings (or ticked checkboxes). Users agree to download or install PUAs by leaving those settings unchanged (or checkboxes ticked).
In other cases, users download or install PUAs by clicking deceptive advertisements designed to run certain scripts or through fake installers. Usually, users download fake installers from untrustworthy websites using scare tactics to promote those installers.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Download apps and files only from official pages and through direct links. Check downloaders and installers for "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings and deselect unwanted apps before downloading and installing programs. Avoid clicking on advertisements displayed by unreliable pages or applications.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
