How to remove apps that promote tutupdate29.com and similar web pages

What is tutupdate29[.]com?

Commonly, browsers open websites such as tutupdate29[.]com when they have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them. I.e., users do not often visit these pages intentionally. Note tutupdate29[.]com (and similar sites) are also promoted via other dubious web pages and advertisements.

Typically, PUAs open websites such as tutupdate29[.]com in a new browser window or tab. Once these sites are visited, they open about two or three other bogus web pages or display dubious content. This depends on the geolocations of their visitors. Therefore, tutupdate29[.]com and sites that it promotes can never be trusted.

This site also demands permission to show notifications. Typically, such pages display notifications that contain links to other bogus pages, deceptive ads, etc. Research shows that this page invites users to install a dubious application.

If it receives this permission, it creates a shortcut with a Google Chrome icon and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-id=dlmgmjleiegajkajobpecjlndcegofmn" target in its properties on the Desktop.

If opened/executed, the shortcut opens a window of a modified Google Chrome version and a dubious search engine that contains dubious ads. You are strongly advised not to allow tutupdate29[.]com to show notifications or agree to install the aforementioned app (to create the shortcut on the desktop).

Note that PUAs that promote sites such as tutupdate29[.]com can be designed to collect IP addresses, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, geolocation, other browsing data, and even personal details. Developers sell collected data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or misuse it to generate revenue in other ways.

PUAs also serve advertisements such as coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and others. When clicked, these open dubious websites or download and install various unwanted applications by running certain scripts.

Some examples of other pages similar to tutupdate29[.]com are tecontrad[.]top, psalrausoa[.]com and odrivicdriv[.]top. In most cases, users download and install these PUAs unintentionally.

How did adware install on my computer?

Unwanted downloads and installations often occur when developers distribute PUAs by integrating them into the download/installation setups of other programs as "extra offers".

This distribution method is known as "bundling". The offers can be declined in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings of the setups (or by unticking certain checkboxes).Many users fail to check and change these settings (or untick the checkboxes), thereby allowing PUAs to infiltrate together with the desired software.

PUAs are also downloaded and installed by clicking deceptive advertisements (usually on untrusted sites) that execute certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

You are advised to download files and programs from official websites and via direct download links. Other tools and sources such as third party downloaders and installers, unofficial pages, and Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., eMule, torrent clients) should not be used to download or install software.

Check all "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings (or available checkboxes) for offers to download and/or install unwanted apps. Do not click ads on dubious websites, since they can be designed to open bogus web pages or cause unwanted downloads and installations.

Remove any unwanted, suspicious extensions, plug-ins and add-ons installed on the browser, and software of this kind from 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
