Renropsitto.info POP-UP Ads

What is renropsitto[.]info?

The internet is flooded with websites similar to renropsitto[.]info including, for example, Pushnews[.]online, txtnews[.]online, and watch-this[.]live. These are just some examples from many. Most of these sites are virtually identical. Once visited, they display untrustworthy content or open other dubious websites.

Typically, people do not visit these sites intentionally - they are redirected to them by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their systems. Additionally, these apps often operate as information tracking tools and feed users with unwanted ads.

If there are any PUAs of this type installed on the system, they open these rogue websites (in this case, renropsitto[.]info in new browser windows or tabs). When opened, renropsitto[.]info shows dubious content or opens about two or three other untrustworthy (possibly malicious) websites. Its actions depend on the visitor's location.

Furthermore, these apps commonly record browsing-related data. For example, geolocations, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries, IP addresses, and so on. Developers share the information with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who can misuse it to generate revenue. Note that some of the data gathered by PUAs might contain personal details.

Another issue is advertisements. These apps often deliver intrusive advertisements such as pop-up ads, coupons, banners, surveys, etc. They display them using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, they conceal underlying content of visited websites.

People who click these ads are usually redirected to other deceptive, untrustworthy websites. They can also run scripts designed to download and install unwanted, potentially malicious apps.

PUAs might cause computer infections and problems with privacy and browsing safety. Identity theft is also possible. These apps are usually promoted as legitimate, harmless and 'useful' apps, however, when installed, they perform actions that help their developers to generate revenue.

They deliver no real value for regular users. Do not use these apps and uninstall them immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most users download/install unwanted apps of this type unintentionally. This usually happens when software developers trick them into it using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". Bundling is the inclusion of PUAs into set-ups of other software, thus allowing unwanted apps to be downloaded/installed together with other software.

This is achieved by hiding information about additionally-included apps in "Custom", "Advanced", or other similar settings of (usually free) software set-ups. People cause unwanted downloads/installations when they skip software download and installation steps without checking the settings.

In other cases, they are caused by clicking intrusive advertisements displayed on dubious pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Download software using official sources/websites and direct download links only. Various third party software downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients or eMule and other similar channels should not be trusted. Handle the software download and installation processes with care.

Examine each step, check included "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar sections, and decline offers to download or install additional, unwanted software. Furthermore, avoid clicking intrusive ads, especially if they are displayed on untrustworthy websites relating to gambling, pornography, adult dating, and so on.

If clicked, they usually cause redirects to deceptive, potentially malicious websites or run scripts that download/install unwanted apps. If these ads or redirects occur regularly, check your browser for suspicious apps (extensions, plug-ins, and pop-ups) and remove them immediately.

You are advised to uninstall unwanted, unknown programs from the operating system as well. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
