How to remove unwanted apps that open keysdigita.com and similar sites

What is keysdigita[.]com?

keysdigita[.]com is often visited by people unintentionally when they are opened by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). When visited, the site opens a number of other bogus web pages or displays dubious content. There are many websites similar to keysdigita[.]com including, for example, zmusic-online[.]com, routemob[.]com and rministencew[.]club.

Note that PUAs not only promote bogus web pages, but also display ads and collect data.

When a website such as keysdigita[.]com is visited, it loads dubious content or opens about two or three other dubious sites - this depends on the visitor's geolocation. Frequently, these rogue websites demand permission to show notifications using 'clickbait' techniques.

This particular page implies that a video can be loaded only by clicking the "Allow" button in a pop-up window, which appears when the web page is visited. By clicking the button, visitors allow keysdigita[.]com to show notifications.

You are advised against giving such permissions, since they usually display notifications containing links to other untrusted websites, deceptive advertisements, etc. As mentioned, browsers often open pages such as keysdigita[.]com due to installed PUAs.

These apps commonly serve banners, coupons, surveys, pop-ups and other advertisements. When users click the ads, they open dubious pages or even execute scripts designed to download and install unwanted apps. PUAs might also collect IP addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, addresses of visited pages, and other browsing data.

Furthermore, in some cases, PUAs are capable of accessing sensitive information. The developers sell the data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or misuse it to generate revenue in other ways. These actions can cause problems relating to online privacy and browsing safety.

It is possible that some users might even become victims of identity theft. Therefore, you are strongly advised not to download or install any PUAs.

Most PUAs do not improve the browsing experience, include any features, or have any valid use. On the contrary: these apps open dubious addresses, display ads and gather information. They do not operate as advertised and can cause serious problems. If PUAs are installed on the browser and/or computer, remove them immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

In most cases, PUAs are distributed by including them into the download/installation set-ups of other programs. This distribution method is known as "bundling" and is used to deceive users into downloading and installing PUAs together with their required programs.

Generally, offers to download and install potentially unwanted apps are mentioned in "Custom" and "Advanced" settings of the download/installation set-ups, however, many users fail to check and change these settings, thereby agreeing by default with offers to download and install additionally-included applications together with regular software.

Deceptive advertisements can also cause unwanted downloads and installations when they are clicked (they then execute certain scripts).

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to download programs and files only from official websites and via direct links. Other channels and tools such as third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g, torrent clients, eMule), unofficial pages, etc., should never be trusted.

Commonly, they are used to promote/distribute various unwanted, even malicious apps. Check all "Advanced", "Custom" and other similar settings of the download and installation setup and decline offers to download or install unwanted applications.

Do not click intrusive ads that are displayed on dubious web pages, since they can open untrusted websites or even cause unwanted downloads and installations. Therefore, you are advised against trusting these ads.

Remove any unknown/unwanted, suspicious extensions, plug-ins and add-ons installed on the browser, and programs of this kind installed on the operating system immediately. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
