How to eliminate totalnicefeed.com website delivered ads?

What is totalnicefeed[.]com?

Similar to yoursurveyprogram.com, alertsx.com, loopanews.com, and countless others, totalnicefeed[.]com is a rogue website. It is designed to load dubious content, push its browser notifications, and/or redirect visitors to different (likely untrustworthy and malicious) sites.

Users typically access such rogue webpages via redirects caused by suspect websites, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

Totalnicefeed[.]com overview

How totalnicefeed[.]com operates depends on its visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. Hence, this information determines whether users are presented with questionable material and/or redirected elsewhere.

Furthermore, sites of this type attempt to entice visitors into allowing their browser notifications. Totalnicefeed[.]com is not an exception; should its notifications be enabled - the website will begin running intrusive ad campaigns. The delivered advertisements endorse various untrustworthy, sale-based, deceptive/scam, and even malicious pages. What is more, some intrusive ads can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) stealthily - when clicked on.

Potentially unwanted application overview

Despite their legitimate appearance, PUAs rarely work as advertised. Instead, this software usually has harmful abilities. For example, PUAs can force-open webpages, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns, hijack browsers, and collect vulnerable data. To summarize, these apps can cause system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed using the "bundling" marketing tactic - packing regular programs with unwanted/malicious additions. Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps, etc.) increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the system.

Intrusive adverts are employed in PUA distribution as well. Upon being clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install this software without user permission. PUAs may also have "official" promotional/download websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is important to research software and only download from official/verified channels. Dubious sources, e.g., unofficial and freeware sites, Peer-to-Peer (Torrent clients, Gnutella, etc.) sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, explore possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all additions. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate; however, they redirect to questionable websites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

In case of encounters with adverts and/or redirects of this kind, the system must be inspected and all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - removed from it without delay. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
