How to prevent browsers from opening siveamongsiv.info

What is siveamongsiv[.]info?

siveamongsiv[.]info is designed to load dubious content or redirect visitors to other untrustworthy websites. There are many other websites of this kind online. Some examples are 1backlinks[.]com, insertcoinage[.]com, and premiumpushnotification[.]com.

Browsers open these websites automatically, but only when potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) are installed on them. These apps also serve dubious advertisements and gather browsing data. Typically, people download and install PUAs inadvertently.

Browsers open websites such as siveamongsiv[.]info in new windows or tabs. They then load dubious content or open about two or three other untrustworthy websites. This depends on visitors' geolocations. Typically, websites such as siveamongsiv[.]info open web pages that contain dubious ads or those used to promote potentially unwanted, or even malicious, software.

Furthermore, many PUAs gather browsing data such as users' internet Protocol addresses, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, geolocations, and so on. Some record sensitive information. Developers generate revenue by misusing this data in various ways.

They often share it with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who also misuse it. These actions might cause problems relating to web browsing safety, online privacy, or even more serious issues such as identity theft. PUAs commonly display intrusive advertisements.

If clicked, these open dubious websites or cause download/installation of unwanted software. Some examples of ads that PUAs serve are coupons, banners, pop-ups, and surveys.

Additionally, siveamongsiv[.]info demands permission to show notifications. We recommend against allowing this, since the site will then start to display notifications that contain dubious ads or other unwanted content.

Most PUAs are advertised as tools that are supposedly useful in some way. Unfortunately, most are useless and designed only to force users to visit rogue web pages, feed them with ads, and collect browsing data. Only the developers benefit from PUAs.

How did adware install on my computer?

Common ways that PUAs are accidentally downloaded and installed are by clicking intrusive, deceptive advertisements, and through the set-ups of other (usually free) software. In many cases, PUAs are included into the download and installation set-ups of other programs.

Related information is hidden in "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", or other similar options of the set-ups. This distribution method is called "bundling" - developers use it to trick people into downloading and installing unwanted apps together with regular software.

They succeed when people fail to check and change the aforementioned settings (this effectively agrees by default with offers to download and/or install unwanted software).

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Software should be downloaded from official, trustworthy websites and via direct links. It should not be downloaded or installed through unofficial websites, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, various third party downloaders, installers, and so on.

Download and installation set-ups often contain settings such as "Custom", "Advanced". It is important to check these and opt-out of additionally-included applications. Do not click intrusive ads, especially if they ads are shown on dubious websites. These ads can be designed to download and/or install unwanted apps or simply redirect people to dubious pages.

Check apps installed on the browser and remove any unknown, unwanted extensions, plug-ins, or add-ons immediately. Also remove software of this kind installed on 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
