Remove unwanted apps that lead to 50million[.]club

What is 50million[.]club?

The 50million[.]club domain is often used by adware developers and their associated adware-type apps. They use this domain to promote dubious websites.

These advertise unwanted applications and are related to gambling, dubious investments, and various other untrustworthy websites. 50million[.]club is promoted through pop-up windows, intrusive ads, etc. In addition to unwanted ads, adware-type apps might collect information relating to users' browsing activity.

Many adware-type apps display ads leading to websites associated with the 50million[.]club domain. As mentioned, 50million[.]club is used to promote dubious web pages. For example, it leads to deceptive sites designed to convince people that their computers are infected.

They encourage people to remove fake virus detections by downloading and installing a potentially unwanted app (PUA). Do not trust these web pages or apps that are advertised through them. This, however, is just one example. 50million[.]club is used to promote other web pages relating to gambling, dubious investments, and so on.

Do not trust these sites or click ads displayed on them. Adware-type apps deliver intrusive ads that, if clicked, might lead to dubious web pages or cause unwanted downloads and installations. Intrusive and deceptive ads can be designed to run scripts that cause these unwanted downloads/installations.

Therefore, if a browser displays ads that lead to sites associated with 50million[.]club, it indicates that there is an adware-type app installed. Typically, these apps collect data such as IP addresses, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations, and so on.

Adware developers share the data with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.

Typically, people do not download and install apps that promote websites such as 50million[.]club intentionally. If your computer is infected with adware or other unwanted apps, removed them as soon possible, since they might cause browsing safety/privacy issues or even lead to identity theft.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

In most cases, unwanted apps are downloaded and installed through clicked intrusive advertisements or together with other (usually free) software. This happens when developers use the "bundling" method - they include unwanted apps into set-ups of other programs.

Any information about this is usually hidden in "Advanced", "Custom" and other similar settings/options of the set-ups. Leaving these settings unchanged gives permission (by default) for bundled PUAs to be downloaded and installed automatically.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Download software from official and trustworthy websites/sources, and using direct download links. Do not use third party downloaders/installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule and other such asols), dubious pages, and so on. Do not rush download and installations, check "Advanced", "Custom" and other options/settings and deselect bundled apps.

Avoid clicking intrusive ads, since they redirect users to dubious/untrustworthy websites. Typically, these ads are displayed on web pages relating to gambling, pornography, adult, and so on. If redirects and unwanted ads are a common problem, check for unwanted extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins installed on the browser and remove them.

The same applies to unwanted programs installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
