How to eliminate the ads delivered by tiontowriting.xyz website?
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is the tiontowriting[.]xyz site?
Tiontowriting[.]xyz is a rogue website similar to linkwinners.net, yourcoolfeed.com, hrougthatsidh.club, and thousands of others. It is designed to load dubious content, push its browser notifications, and/or redirect visitors to various (likely untrustworthy or malicious) webpages.
Most users are redirected to rogue websites by suspect sites, intrusive advertisements, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).
Tiontowriting[.]xyz overview
How rogue webpages operate is determined by their visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. This information dictates whether users are presented with questionable material and/or redirected elsewhere.
Furthermore, tiontowriting[.]xyz attempts to trick visitors into enabling its browser notifications - by claiming that they must press "Allow" to watch the video. Should they be allowed, the site will begin running intrusive advertisement campaigns.
The displayed notifications/adverts promote a variety of sale-based, unreliable, deceptive/scam, and malicious websites. Some intrusive ads are even capable of stealthily downloading/installing software (e.g., PUAs) - when clicked.

Potentially unwanted application overview
PUAs appear legitimate and harmless. They offer "useful" functionalities, which seldom work as advertised, and in most cases - they are entirely nonoperational. Instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can force-open webpages, run intrusive ad campaigns (adware), modify browsers (browser hijackers), and gather vulnerable information.
To summarize, the presence of unwanted apps on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.
How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?
PUAs are spread via downloaders/installers of other software. "Bundling" is the term defining this marketing tactic of packing ordinary programs with various supplements. Additionally, once clicked, intrusive advertisements can make downloads/installations without user permission. PUAs may also have "official" promotional/download pages.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is strongly advised to research software and download it from official/verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and freeware sites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc. - often offer bundled/harmful content.
When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, explore available options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt-out of all additions. Intrusive ads appear innocuous yet redirect to questionable websites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).
In case of encounters with such ads/redirects, the system must be checked and all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - removed 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.
