How to remove application that opens revercecaptcha.com?

What is revercecaptcha[.]com?

Revercecaptcha[.]com is similar to hevethat[.]online, bemasx[.]com, mycoolnewz[.]com, and many other untrustworthy websites.

Typically, users open such pages by clicking on deceptive advertisements, or those pages get opened while users visit other shady websites or when their web browser has some potentially unwanted application (PUA) installed on it.

In other words, it is uncommon for pages like revercecaptcha[.]com to be visited by users on purpose. It is important to mention that a PUA is a type of app that can be designed to promote untrustworthy pages and serve ads and (or) collect various data.

Websites like revercecaptcha[.]com detect their visitors' geolocation and then load deceptive, questionable content or open a couple (two, three) of other dubious websites.

It is very common that pages like revercecaptcha[.]com use a clickbait technique to trick their visitors into clicking the "Allow" button, allowing visited pages to show their notifications.

Revercecaptcha[.]com displays a fake CAPTCHA with a message encouraging visitors to click the "Allow" button to prove that they are not robots. Untrustworthy pages should not be allowed to show notifications.

Most of their notifications contain shady advertisements, promote potentially malicious sites, etc.

When websites like revercecaptcha[.]com open a couple of other shady pages, they usually open dubious pages used to promote browser hijackers, adware, various scam pages like "Firewall Spyware Alert", "Hackers Are Watching You!", "Google Membership Rewards", and so on.

In conclusion, content on the revercecaptcha[.]com page and pages promoted through it cannot be trusted.

As mentioned in the introduction paragraph, PUAs can be designed to serve advertisements and (or) gather various data. Some examples of ads that PUAs display are coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads. It is common that ads displayed by PUAs often are used to advertise shady websites.

Sometimes they can download or even install unwanted apps by running certain scripts. Examples of details that PUAs gather are Internet Protocol addresses, geolocations, URLs of visited pages, entered search queries. It is important to mention that there are PUAs that are capable of accessing sensitive information.

Either way, there is always a chance that data collected by installed PUA is going to be shared with third parties (potentially cybercriminals), used for marketing purposes, or misused in other ways. Therefore, it is strongly advisable not to have apps of this type installed on browsers or computers.

In conclusion, it is uncommon for pages like revercecaptcha[.]com to be visited or PUAs to be downloaded, installed by users intentionally. If a browser opens shady websites by itself, it is likely that it already has some PUA installed on it.

It is noteworthy that even if apps of this kind are advertised as useful, legitimate, they are useless to their users and can cause certain problems. In other words, PUAs are monetized by designing them to generate ads, open questionable pages, and (or) gathering information about their users.

How did adware install on my computer?

One of the most popular ways to distribute PUAs is to bundle them with other programs (include PUAs in downloaders, installers as additional offers). Usually, PUAs are bundled with freeware (free software).

Users download or install PUAs together with other programs when they leave settings like "Advanced", "Custom" unchanged, or do not untick certain checkboxes. In other words, when users finish downloads, installations without declining offers to download or install included applications (PUAs).

In some cases, users cause unwanted downloads or installations by clicking deceptive advertisements. However, only when they click on ads that are designed to execute certain scripts. As a rule, such ads appear on questionable pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Programs and files should be downloaded from official pages using direct links. Files, programs downloaded via Peer-to-Peer networks (like eMule, torrent clients), third-party downloaders, from unofficial websites, etc., can be malicious.

Downloaders and installers with "Advanced", "Manual, "Custom", or other settings or checkboxes should be checked for offers to download or install potentially unwanted applications. Bundled apps (PUAs) should be opted out before finishing downloads and installations.

Advertisements on unreliable pages should not be clicked. If clicked, those ads may open other shady pages or run certain scripts designed to start unwanted downloads or even installations.

Unwanted, suspicious, or unknown extensions, add-ons, or plug-ins installed on a browser should be removed, applications of this kind 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.
