Uninstall an unwanted app that causes redirects to armantark.com

What is armantark[.]com?

armantark[.]com is one of many rogue websites that redirects visitors to other similar sites or displays dubious content. Note that armantark[.]com is similar to fres-news[.]com, redrelaxfollow[.]com, muchinspardorop[.]info, and others.

Typically, people do not open these web pages intentionally - they are redirected to them by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on their browsers or operating systems. PUAs gather various user details and/or display unwanted ads.

When visited, armantark[.]com opens two or three other untrustworthy websites or displays dubious content. This depends on the visitor's IP address. Websites opened through armantark[.]com cannot be trusted, since they might contain deceptive ads, promote unwanted, potentially malicious apps, and so on.

Research shows that armantark[.]com demands permission to show notifications. To trick people into allowing notifications, they use the 'clickbait' technique. In this particular case, armantark[.]com asks visitors to verify their age by clicking the "Allow" button, however, if clicked, it gives this site permission to show notifications.

We strongly advise against allowing pages such as armantark[.]com to show notifications. Apart from opening dubious web pages, PUAs gather various details and display intrusive advertisements. Typically, PUAs record users' IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, and other details that might contain sensitive information.

Developers usually share all details with other parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse them to generate revenue. Furthermore, installed PUAs can display unwanted ads such as coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, and so on.

People who click these ads are usually redirected to other dubious sites, however, some ads might run scripts that download or install unwanted software. You are strongly advised NOT to click these ads.

Typically, PUAs are useless - they provide no 'useful features' or any other value. Frequently, they force browsers to open untrustworthy web pages, gather information relating to users' browsing habits, and/or display deceptive ads.

Having them installed can lead to problems with browsing safety, privacy, or they can help cyber criminals to steal identities. Therefore, remove all PUAs from the browser or computer immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

People often download and/or install unwanted apps when they are tricked. This usually happens when software developers use "bundling", a deceptive marketing method used to trick people into downloading and/or installing PUAs with other (usually free) software.

They achieve this by hiding information regarding the inclusion of PUAs in "Custom", "Advanced", and other similar settings of the download/installation set-ups. Note that unwanted downloads or installations happen only when users leave settings unchecked and unchanged.

Additionally, some unwanted apps might be installed through intrusive ads - if clicked, these run scripts that start the download/installation process of dubious software.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Download software from official and trustworthy websites, and avoid using third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, dubious websites, and other similar channels to download or install software.

Check all "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings that are available in any download/installation set-ups, and opt-out of offers to download or install unwanted software. Do not trust intrusive ads, especially those displayed on dubious sites. If clicked, they can redirect people to other untrustworthy, potentially malicious websites.

To stop unwanted redirects or unwanted ads from appearing, uninstall all unwanted extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons from the browser. Also remove all programs of this kind from the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
