Web pages of this type in general

Melomovie[.]com and similar pages illegally stream copyrighted content. It is common for them to be monetized via rogue advertising networks. Visiting such pages can result in unknowingly downloading and installing PUAs. More examples of similar sites are moviesmunch[.]com, moviesnation[.]org, 123moviesonline[.]online.

How did adware install on my computer?

Users end up having PUAs installed on computers after installing other programs without deselecting optional installations. Downloaders and installers used to distribute PUAs have "Manual", "Advanced", or other settings (or ticked checkboxes) that can be used to deselect unwanted apps.

In other cases, users download or install PUAs by clicking on advertisements designed to execute specific scripts or through fake installers. A big part of fake installers is promoted using scare tactics or other deceptive methods.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Do not use third-party downloaders, installers, unofficial pages, Peer-to-Peer networks, and similar sources/tools for downloading files and programs. Download them from official pages and via direct links. Check downloaders and installers for unwanted apps (and deselect them) before downloading and installing programs.

Also, do not click on advertisements that show up on dubious, potentially malicious websites. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
