Freegiveawaystodayonly[.]com and other pages of this type in general
Freegiveawaystodayonly[.]com and similar pages are designed to trick visitors into agreeing to receive notifications. Also, they redirect visitors to untrustworthy pages. Pages like freegiveawaystodayonly[.]com are promoted through other dubious sites, shady ads, and potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).
How did adware install on my computer?
Pretty often, users download and install potentially unwanted apps when they are distributed through downloaders or installers for other programs. Users agree to download or install PUAs when they leave "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings unchanged. Those settings can be used to deselect optional downloads, installations.
Sometimes, users download and install PUAs by clicking on deceptive ads designed to run certain scripts (typically, those ads appear on dubious pages) or through fake installers. It is very common for fake installers to be promoted on deceptive pages suggesting that some installed software is out of date.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is strongly recommended not to use third-party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks like eMule, torrent clients, questionable websites to download files or programs. It should be achieved using official pages.
Also, it is advisable to check downloaders and installers with settings like "Custom", "Advanced" or ticked checkboxes for optional downloads or installations. Additionally, it is recommended not to trust (click) advertisements that appear on shady web pages.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
