What is gkillegebre[.]space?

There are many websites like gkillegebre[.]space, for example, psalrausoa[.]com, odrivicdriv[.]top and hilycover[.]top. In most cases users end up on such pages unintentionally. It is common that sites like gkillegebre[.]space get opened by browsers that have some potentially unwanted application (PUA) installed on them.

It is worthwhile to mention that apps of this can be designed to serve ads and/or collect details related to user's web browsing habits as well.

As a rule, once pages like gkillegebre[.]space are visited, they load some questionable content or open a couple (2-3) of other untrustworthy web pages. It depends on the geolocation of their visitors.

Another problem witch such pages is that most of them use some clickbait technique to trick their visitors into allowing them to show notifications (into clicking the "Allow" button that allows pages to show notifications). Gkillegebre[.]space says that the aforementioned button has to be clicked to continue browsing the page.

Typically, such pages, if allowed, show notifications that contain various advertisements, links to shady, untrustworthy websites, etc. Some examples of notifications that gkillegebre[.]space shows are provided below.

It is worthwhile to mention that PUAs (apps that are mentioned in the first paragraph) can be designed to gather browsing-related details like addresses of visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations, IP addresses, etc. In some cases they can be designed to record sensitive information.

The bigger problem is that their developers could share collected data with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) or misuse it to generate revenue in other ways. In such cases users who have PUAs on browsers and/or computers installed may become victims of identity theft, experience problems related to browsing safety, online privacy, etc.

Additionally, apps of this type can be designed to serve advertisements that, if clicked, could open questionable websites or cause unwanted downloads and/or installations by running certain scripts. Some examples of ads that PUAs can be designed to serve are coupons, banners, pop-ups, surveys (or ads of other types).

To summarize, it is common that users visit pages like gkillegebre[.]space only when they have some PUA installed on a browser and/or the operating. It is worthwhile to mention that quite often such apps are advertised as useful - they supposed to include some features, improve browsing experience, etc.

However, most of them are designed only to generate revenue for their developers.

How did adware install on my computer?

Typically, users download and/or install potentially unwanted apps by clicking deceptive ads that are designed to execute certain scripts, or by downloading and/or installing programs that have those apps included in their setups as extra offers.

Usually, offers to download and/or install PUAs can be declined via "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings, or by unticking certain checkboxes that are available in setups.

When users download and install programs without checking (and changing) those settings, they allow for PUAs to be downloaded and/or installed together as well. This distribution method for PUAs is called "bundling".

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to download software from official, trustworthy websites and not download it via third party downloaders, Peer to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule, etc.), questionable websites and other similar sources or tools, or use third party installers to install it.

Also, it is advised to remember that download and installation setups can contain various settings (like "Advanced", "Custom"), it is common that those settings can be used to decline offers to download and/or install unwanted applications.

Advertisements on untrustworthy websites should not be clicked, they often are designed to promote other pages of this kind, or even download, install unwanted apps. If some PUA (extension, plug-in or add-on) is already installed on a browser, then it should be removed.

Software of this kind that is installed on the operating system should be uninstalled too. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
