Web pages of this type in general

It is common for pages like sasmotia[.]com to be opened through clicked deceptive pages, visited untrustworthy websites, installed potentially unwanted applications. In other words, users do not open them (or download and install PUAs) on purpose.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed through downloaders and installers for other programs, fake installers, advertisements. When users download or install programs without changing "Custom", "Advanced", or other settings, they end up having PUAs downloaded or installed as well.

Deceptive advertisements can download (or install) PUAs only when they are designed to run certain scripts and users click on them. Fake installers usually are disguised as legitimate ones. Most of them are promoted using deceptive websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advisable to download apps and files from reliable, official websites and avoid using third-party downloaders, installers, unofficial websites, and other sources of this kind. Also, programs should not be downloaded and installed until all unwanted apps are deselected.

Additionally, it is recommended to avoid clicking ads that appear on dubious websites (for instance, on pages related to gambling, adult dating, pornography). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
