How to remove apps designed to promote suftoajachi.com or similar sites

What is suftoajachi[.]com?

suftoajachi[.]com functions like many other websites of this type (e.g., totopcontent[.]xyz, hiroje[.]com, and abcnewspro[.]com): it loads dubious content or opens other untrusted web pages.

Typically, users do not visit addresses such as suftoajachi[.]com intentionally - these web pages are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers and/or computers, through deceptive advertisements, or other dubious websites.

Usually, PUAs open sites such as suftoajachi[.]com in new browser windows or tabs. Once visited, they open about two or three other bogus websites or load dubious content. The way they function depends on the geolocations of visitors. Note that suftoajachi[.]com can open web pages designed to promote dubious software, contain deceptive advertisements, etc.

They often demand permission to show notifications using 'clickbait' techniques - suftoajachi[.]com suggests that users need to click the "Allow" button to continue watching a video. These websites should never be allowed to show notifications, since these can contain links to untrusted sites, deceptive ads, etc.

Commonly, PUAs promote (open) untrusted websites such as suftoajachi[.]com and serve advertisements (e.g., coupons, banners, surveys, etc.), which can open untrusted websites. In some cases, the ads cause download/installation of unwanted applications by executing certain scripts.

Additionally, PUAs are often designed to gather data. Commonly, they collect IP addresses, addresses of visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations and other browsing-related data, however, some PUAs that can access personal, sensitive details.

The developers often misuse gathered information to generate revenue by selling it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or in other ways. Therefore, PUAs can cause problems relating to online privacy, browsing safety, and even identity theft.

In summary, PUAs promote websites such as suftoajachi[.]com, gather information and serve advertisements. They are useless to regular users, even if they are advertised as useful, legitimate applications. PUAs are often downloaded and installed inadvertently.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are often integrated into the download/installation set-ups of other programs as 'additional offers'. These can usually be declined offers through "Advanced", "Custom" or other settings. Many users fail to check and change these, thereby granting PUAs permission to be downloaded and installed.

In some cases, unwanted downloads and installations are caused by clicking deceptive advertisements that execute certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Do not download files or programs through untrusted sources such as torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks), third party downloaders, or dubious websites. Do not install software with third party installers. Use official websites and direct download links.

Check all "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar options and decline offers of potentially unwanted applications. Do not trust or click intrusive ads that appear on dubious web pages, since they can open other, untrusted websites or even cause download/installation of PUAs.

Remove any suspicious, unknown 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.
