How to remove unwanted apps that promote listenmusic.fun and similar sites

What is listenmusic[.]fun?

listenmusic[.]fun is an untrusted website that promotes other bogus sites and loads dubious content. There are many websites that function in a similar manner to listenmusic[.]fun - some examples are caravane-plantes[.]com, somenewsabout[.]com and belaininge[.]club.

Users do not often visit these sites intentionally - in most cases, they are opened via other pages of this kind, deceptive ads, or potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that users have installed onto their browsers and/or computers.

PUAs open sites such as listenmusic[.]fun in new browser windows or tabs. Once visited, these bogus websites display dubious content or open about two or three other bogus websites - this depends on the geolocations of their visitors. Most attempt to trick users into allowing them to show notifications by using 'clickbait' techniques.

If allowed, these sites show notifications that contain deceptive ads, links to untrusted pages, etc. Commonly, PUAs are designed to open/promote untrusted pages and track and record information. Many PUAs collect information relating to users' browsing habits.

For example, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, IP addresses and other data of this kind. In some cases, they target sensitive, personal information as well. The developers sell the data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or misuse it to generate revenue in other ways.

Furthermore, PUAs can display advertisements. For example, coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups and other types of ads. These often promote untrusted sites and, in some cases, are capable of executing scripts designed to download and install unwanted, potentially malicious applications.

In summary, PUAs promote listenmusic[.]fun and other dubious websites, and can also be designed to serve ads and collect data. Commonly, PUAs are advertised as legitimate, useful applications, however, most are useless and cause issues relating to online privacy, browsing safety, and other serious problems (e.g., identity theft).

How did adware install on my computer?

Browser hijackers, adware-type apps, and other types of PUAs are commonly distributed by integrating them into the download and/or installation set-ups of other programs, so that a proportion of users inadvertently download and install them together with their chosen software.

This distribution method is known as "bundling". Offers to download and install additionally-included apps usually appear in "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings of the set-ups (where they can usually be declined). Many users fail to check and change these settings, thereby granting permission for PUAs to be downloaded and installed by default.

In addition, unwanted downloads and installations are sometimes caused by clicking deceptive advertisements capable of executing certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Download software and files from official websites and via direct links. It is not safe to use torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks), third party downloaders, unofficial websites or other sources of this kind. Avoid third party installers. Check "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings, and decline offers to download or install unwanted software.

Do not click ads that are displayed on dubious websites, since they can open other untrusted websites or even cause unwanted downloads and installations. Remove any unwanted, suspicious applications (extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins) that are installed on the browser.

The same should be applied 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.
