What is pushcleansystem[.]com?

Pushcleansystem[.]com is one of the rogue websites that are designed to promote (open) other unreliable websites or display shady content. Some examples of other pages like pushcleansystem[.]com are checkvd[.]com, enerativearea[.]pro and oawhaursaith[.]com. Most users do not visit such pages by themselves. Usually they get opened through other shady pages, deceptive ads or by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). They are called PUAs be cause users do not download and install them intentionally neither. It is worthwhile to mention that apps of this type tend to be designed to gather various data and/or serve ads as well.

When visited, pushcleansystem[.]com either opens a couple of other untrustworthy pages or displays some shady content. It depends on visitor's geolocation. Either way, neither pushcleansystem[.]com or pages that it opens are trustworthy. Like most websites of this type, pushcleansystem[.]com is designed to deceive visitors into allowing it to show notifications by using a clickbait technique - it suggests that visitors can prove that they are not robots and continue browsing it by clicking the "Allow" button. Although, by clicking it visitors would only allow for pushcleansystem[.]com to show notifications that could contain deceptive ads, links to shady websites, etc. As mentioned in the introduction, pages like pushcleansystem[.]com often get opened by browsers that have some PUA installed on them. Although, it is not the only problem with apps of this type. Quite often they are designed to collect browsing data. For example, IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites an other browsing data. However, in some cases apps of this type collect personal, sensitive details too. All gathered data might be sold to third parties (potentially cyber criminals) or misused to generate revenue in some other ways. This could cause problems related to online privacy, browsing safety, or even identity theft. Also, PUAs can be designed to serve ads (coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and other types of advertisements). When clicked, they often open various untrustworthy web pages. In some cases displayed ads can be designed to run certain scripts that would cause downloads and/or installations of unwanted, potentially malicious software.

Although, most of them are useless and can be the culprit of various problems. Therefore, if there is an app of this type installed on a browser and/or computer, then it should be uninstalled right away.

How did adware install on my computer?

It is common that developers include adware and PUA in various download and/or installation setups of other software as additional offers Usually offers to download and/or install potentially unwanted apps are mentioned in their "Advanced", "Custom" and other similar settings. Although, not all users check and change those settings. By leaving them unchanged they allow for various included PUAs to be downloaded and/or installed alongside with a desired software. This distribution method of PUAs is known as "bundling". Also, in some cases PUAs can get downloaded and/or installed through deceptive ads that are designed to run certain scripts. However, it happens only when users click those ads.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to download files, software only from official, trustworthy websites and via direct links. Tools, channels like third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), unofficial websites, and so on, should not be used. Quite often they are used to distribute not only potentially unwanted, but also potentially malicious apps. Also, it is recommended not to leave "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings of any download and/or installation setup unchecked. Those settings often mention offers to download and/or install unwanted apps, they can be declined before finishing download and/or installation process. Furthermore, various intrusive ads that are displayed on shady pages tend to open untrustworthy websites. Sometimes they can be designed to cause unwanted downloads, installations as well. Therefore, such ads should not be trusted. And finally, if there are any unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons, plug-ins installed on a browser and/or programs of this kind installed on the operating system, then they should be uninstalled as soon as possible. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Malwarebytes for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
