How to remove apps promoting visingikol.club and similar addresses

What is visingikol[.]club?

visingikol[.]club opens untrusted websites or loads dubious content. Therefore, it should never be trusted or visited. There are many websites similar to visingikol[.]club including, for example, abcnewspro[.]com, sferverification[.]com and alondondon[.]xyz. They are often opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on the browser.

Apps of this type are classified as PUAs, since users often download and install them inadvertently.

Usually, PUAs open visingikol[.]club and similar sites in a new browser window and/or tab. Once visited, these web pages open other bogus pages or load dubious content. The way they function depends on the visitors' geolocations. Note that visingikol[.]club asks permission to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique to trick visitors into allowing it to show them.

I.e., visingikol[.]club suggests that, by clicking the "Allow" button, visitors will prove that they are not robots and be able to continue browsing the page. Generally, sites such as visingikol[.]club show notifications with deceptive ads, links to dubious pages, and so on.

An example of notifications displayed by visingikol[.]club is provided in the screenshot below. Furthermore, PUAs can gather various information. They usually target browsing data such as IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of visited pages, and entered search queries, however, some PUAs are capable of accessing sensitive, confidential details as well.

Furthermore, the developers could sell gathered information to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or misuse it to generate revenue in other ways. These actions can cause issues relating to privacy and browsing safety, and some users might even become victims of identity theft.

PUAs also serve advertisements - if clicked, these can open untrusted web pages or even execute scripts designed to download and install other PUAs. Therefore, PUAs should never be downloaded or installed.

Typically, developers advertise PUAs as useful, legitimate applications, however, most are designed only to help the developers to generate revenue (by gathering data, serving ads and promoting dubious websites). In summary, these apps are useless and can cause serious problems. You are strongly advised to uninstall all PUAs immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

Developers often include potentially unwanted applications in the download/installation set-ups of other programs. This distribution method is called "bundling". In most cases, information about included apps can be found and declined in "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings of set-ups.

Many users fail to check and change these settings, thereby agreeing by default with offers to download or install additionally-included apps. In some cases, unwanted downloads and installations are caused through clicking deceptive ads that execute certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule), unofficial pages, and other similar download, installation tools, sources are often used to distribute PUAs or even malware. Therefore, download software and files only from official websites and through direct download links.

Check all "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings, and decline offers to download or install additionally-included, potentially unwanted software. Furthermore, do not click advertisements that appear on dubious websites - they can open untrusted websites or cause unwanted downloads and installations.

Remove all unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins that are installed on the browser. Also remove 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.
