Websites of this type in general

Most pages like wholenicenews[.]com use clickbait techniques to trick visitors into agreeing to receive notifications. They get opened by other untrustworthy pages, deceptive advertisements, potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). Users rarely download/install PUAs knowingly.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most users download and install PUAs through deceptive ads that can run certain scripts or downloaders and installers for other programs. In the second case, PUAs get installed (or downloaded) when users do not untick checkboxes or change "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings available in installers (or downloaders).

Advertisements that can cause unexpected downloads or installations are displayed on dubious, potentially malicious sites. Users download or install PUAs by clicking on those ads. Sometimes, PUAs are distributed using fake installers. These installers are promoted mostly on deceptive pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Files/programs downloaded from unreliable sources can be used to distribute potentially unwanted or malicious apps. Thus, it is recommended to use official pages and direct links as sources for downloading software (and files).

It is also recommended to check downloaders and installers for PUAs before downloading and installing programs for optional downloads or installations and not to click on advertisements appearing on questionable 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.
