What is ritishdeliv[.]top?
Ritishdeliv[.]top is the address of an untrustworthy website which, if visited, either opens other pages of this kind or loads shady content. There is a great number of websites like ritishdeliv[.]top. Here are some examples: nitenauth[.]top, cpmlink[.]net and hilanfavouris[.]top. As a rule, users do not visit them intentionally: such pages get opened via deceptive ads, other unreliable pages or by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).
When installed potentially unwanted app opens a website like ritishdeliv[.]top, that pages opens about two, three other, unreliable websites, or it displays some shady content. It depends on its visitor's geolocation. Ritishdeliv[.]top is one of the pages that are designed to use some clickbait technique to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button which allows visited websites to show their notifications. Ritishdeliv[.]top makes it look like by clicking the aforementioned button "Allow" visitors will be able to continue loading it. As a rule, websites like this one show notifications with deceptive ads, links to unreliable pages in them. Therefore, they should not be allowed to show their notifications. Another issue with PUAs is that most of them are designed to collect information related to user's browsing habits. For example, IP addresses, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, geolocation, etc. Some PUAs are capable of accessing personal details as well. What is worse, collected data may be sold to third parties (potentially cyber criminals) or misused to generate revenue in other ways. This could cause users various problems, for example, they may experience problems related to online privacy, browsing safety, or even become victims of identity theft. Also, PUAs tend to be designed to serve various advertisements like coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and/or other types of advertisements. If clicked, those ads open questionable websites. In some cases they cause download and/or installation of some unwanted software by running certain scripts.

To summarize, in most cases potentially unwanted applications are designed to promote questionable websites like ritishdeliv[.]top, gather various information and/or display various advertisements. Simply said, PUAs are designed to generate revenue for their developers and are useless to their users, even when they are advertised as useful, legitimate apps.
How did adware install on my computer?
Typically, users download and/or install potentially unwanted applications when they download and/or install programs that have PUAs included in their setups as additional offers. Typically, such offers can be found and declined in "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual", or other settings of setups (or using available checkboxes). Not all users check and change the aforementioned settings (or untick certain checkboxes). By leaving default ettings unchanged they allow for integrated apps to be downloaded and/or install alongside with desired programs. In some cases users cause such downloads and/or installations by clicking deceptive advertisements. However, only when they click ads designed to run certain scripts.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is recommended not leave "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings of any download/installation setup unchecked - it is common that those settings can be used to decline offers to download and/or install unwanted apps. Also, it is advised not to download software (or files) from untrustworthy pages, via torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks) third party downloaders, questionable websites, etc. The same applies to installations via third party installers. Software, files should be downloaded via direct links and from official, trustworthy websites. Intrusive advertisements on shady pages can be designed to open untrustworthy/potentially malicious websites or cause unwanted downloads, or even installation. For these reasons it is recommended not to click such ads as well. Any unwanted, suspicious apps (extensions, add-ons or plug-ins) that are installed on a browser should be removed. Programs of this kind that are installed on a computer should be removed too. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Malwarebytes for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
