Mateyhecrie[.]xyz and other pages of this type in general

Mateyhecrie[.]xyz and similar websites use clickbait techniques to trick visitors into agreeing to receive notifications from them and promote other dubious pages. In some cases, they can open legitimate pages. As a rule, users install PUAs designed to promote pages of this kind unknowingly.

How did adware install on my computer?

Users download or install potentially unwanted applications through downloaders or installers for other programs when they do not deselect optional downloads or installations. Usually, it can be done using "Custom", "Manual", "Advanced", or other settings available in those downloaders or installers.

In other cases, users unknowingly download or install PUAs through fake installers downloaded from untrustworthy pages or by clicking advertisements. Ads can cause unexpected downloads or installations when they are designed to execute specific scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Applications (and files) should be downloaded from official, trustworthy websites. Third-party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks, unofficial websites, etc., can be used to distribute unwanted, malicious apps. Downloaders and installers that have settings should be checked for optional downloads or installations.

Advertisements appearing on shady web pages should not be trusted. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
