How to eliminate ads delivered by the captcharesolverhere.top site?
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is the captcharesolverhere[.]top site?
Similar to new-updates-service.com, totalnicefeed.com, akaiksots.com, and thousands of others, captcharesolverhere[.]top is a rogue website. It operates by loading questionable content, pushing its browser notifications, and/or redirecting visitors to different (likely untrustworthy or malicious) sites.
Users typically access rogue webpages via redirects caused by suspect sites, intrusive adverts, or PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications) infiltrated into their devices.
Captcharesolverhere[.]top overview
Once captcharesolverhere[.]top is entered, it first checks the visitor's IP address to learn their geolocation. This information determines whether the visiting user is redirected elsewhere and/or presented with dubious material.
Like most rogue pages, captcharesolverhere[.]top employs deceptive content (i.e., fake CAPTCHA verification) to lure visitors into enabling its browser notifications. If tricked by the hoax CAPTCHA, users will inadvertently allow the site to run intrusive advertisement campaigns.
The displayed ads endorse a wide variety of sale-oriented, rogue, untrustworthy, compromised, deceptive/scam, and even malicious websites. Furthermore, some intrusive advertisements can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) stealthily - upon being clicked.

Potentially unwanted application overview
Despite their legitimate appearance, PUAs rarely work as advertised. Instead, unwanted applications can force-open sites, deliver intrusive ad campaigns, hijack browsers, and collect private data. In summary, the presence of PUAs on devices can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.
How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?
PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs - this marketing technique is called "bundling". By rushing through downloads/installations (e.g., using "Easy/Quick" settings, etc.), users risk allowing bundled content into their devices.
Intrusive adverts are used to distribute PUAs as well. When clicked on, the ads can download/install these apps without user permission. Some PUAs also have "official" download pages.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is advised to research software and only download it from official/verified channels. Untrustworthy sources, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc. - commonly offer bundled/harmful content.
When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, study possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all supplements. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate; however, they redirect to various questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).
Should users encounter adverts and/or redirects of this type, they must check their devices and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
