How to uninstall apps that may be designed to open usinesmycete.info

What is usinesmycete[.]info?

usinesmycete[.]info is one of many rogue websites. It is similar to balanceforsun[.]com, sawhitpew[.]site, wbamedia[.]net and many others.

Generally, they redirect visitors to other rogue websites or display dubious content. In most cases, people arrive at these sites inadvertently - they are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on the browser and/or operating system. Furthermore, PUAs commonly display intrusive ads and collect browsing-related information.

Typically, PUAs open websites such as usinesmycete[.]info in new web browser windows or tabs. When visited, they load dubious content or cause additional redirects to two or three other untrusted websites. The way they behave depends on visitors' geolocations.

This particular site deceives visitors into allowing it to show notifications. It states that a file can be downloaded only after clicking the "Allow" button, however, there are many other 'clickbait' techniques used for the same purpose. In any case, clicking the button allows a rogue web page to display notifications - these might contain deceptive ads, links to untrusted pages, and so on.

Furthermore, PUAs can feed users with advertisements in the form of coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and so on. If clicked, these usually open untrusted (potentially, malicious) websites, however, they might run scripts designed to download or install unwanted apps.

Furthermore, having unwanted apps of this type installed can lead to problems relating to privacy, browsing safety or even identity theft - many collect data that developers misuse to generate revenue, or they sell it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

PUAs collect details such as search queries, geolocations, IP addresses, addresses of visited websites, and so on, however, they are capable of accessing personal, sensitive information as well. Therefore, we strongly recommend against using apps of this type and you should uninstall them immediately.

There are many potentially unwanted apps on the internet. Most open untrusted websites, gather data and/or display unwanted ads.

Typically, developers advertise them as useful apps, which supposedly improve the browsing experience, deliver various features, and so on. Unfortunately, PUAs do not operate as advertised and users are exposed to risk of various issues and threats.

How did adware install on my computer?

Typically, unwanted downloads and installations happen when people click deceptive advertisements that are capable of executing certain scripts, or when developers distribute PUAs using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" - they include PUAs into the download/installation set-ups of other software.

Offers to download or install these PUAs are usually hidden in settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", and so on. People who leave these settings unchanged often grant PUAs permission to be downloaded and installed with regular software by default.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Download programs and files from official websites only. Avoid third party software downloaders and installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), dubious, unofficial websites and other similar sources to download or install software.

Check "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings of the software set-ups and dismiss any offers to download or install unwanted apps before finishing the process. Do not trust intrusive ads, especially if they are displayed on dubious websites - they can open other untrusted websites or download/install unwanted software.

Prevent browsers causing unwanted redirects and displaying ads by uninstalling all suspicious, unknown extensions, add-ons and plug-ins. Also apply this to programs of this kind that are 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.
