How to remove apps that open emindeed.top and similar websites
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is emindeed[.]top?
emindeed[.]top is similar to sionremai[.]fun, thehugefeed[.]com, titionasses[.]fun and many other pages. Typically, users do not visit these sites intentionally - they are opened by browsers that have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them. They are also promoted via other dubious web pages or deceptive advertisements.
When visited, emindeed[.]top loads dubious content or opens other (about 2-3) other bogus websites - this depends on the geolocations of visitors.
Note that emindeed[.]top is also designed to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button. I.e., into giving it permission to show notifications. Typically, pages such as this one use 'clickbait' techniques for this purpose - emindeed[.]top suggests that users must click the button to continue loading the website. Generally, notifications from pages such as emindeed[.]top contain deceptive ads, links to dubious pages, etc.
PUAs can be designed to promote dubious pages and also to collect IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of visited pages, entered search queries, and other browsing-related details. In some cases, they gather private, sensitive details as well. The information is monetized by selling it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or in other ways.
PUAs also serve coupons, pop-ups, surveys, banners, and other ads, which commonly open dubious web pages or even download and install other PUAs by running certain scripts.

To summarize, users do not often visit pages such as emindeed[.]top intentionally - they are opened by potentially unwanted applications that are installed on browsers and/or computers. These apps are often useless to regular users and designed only to generate revenue for the developers.
Furthermore, users might be at risk of various online safety problems. PUAs should never be trusted, downloaded or installed.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs are distributed via download/installation set-ups of other products. This deceptive marketing tactic of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling". Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and settings, etc.) increases the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system.
Some PUAs have "official" download sites. Intrusive advertisements proliferate these applications as well. Once clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent.
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.
Regularly scan your computer with reputable antivirus or anti-spyware software and keep this software up to date.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
