How to uninstall software force-opening the bigclik.club website?

What is the bigclik[.]club website?

Sharing many similarities with akemewelsu.biz, aloha-news.net, gate15.xyz, and thousands of others, bigclik[.]club is a rogue webpage. Visitors to it are presented with dubious content and/or redirected to untrustworthy or possibly malicious sites.

Bigclik[.]club and websites akin to it - are typically accessed inadvertently. Most users enter them via redirects caused by intrusive ads or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

This software can infiltrate systems and cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gather browsing-related information.

Whether visitors to bigclik[.]club get redirected elsewhere and/or presented with questionable material - depends on their geolocations. The page learns this data by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.

Additionally, rogue websites use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, and other deceptive statements/content to trick visitors into allowing their browser notifications. This is true of bigclik[.]club as well, and should its notifications be allowed - the site will begin delivering intrusive advertisement campaigns.

These adverts are more than just a nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. Once clicked on, intrusive ads redirect to dangerous webpages, and some can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user permission.

Potentially unwanted applications have heinous functionalities, which can be in different combinations. For example, these apps can force-open websites and/or run intrusive advert campaigns.

Furthermore, most PUAs have data tracking abilities. They monitor browsing activity (visited URLs, viewed webpages, searched queries, etc.) and gather sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc.).

The gathered data is then monetized by being shared with and/or sold to third-parties, likewise intent on misusing it for profit. In summary, the presence of unwanted applications on devices can result in system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

To ensure device integrity and user privacy, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed without delay.

PUAs usually look legitimate and useful. These apps offer a broad range of features.

However, the advertised functions are rarely operational. The only aim of unwanted applications is to generate profit for the developers; hence, functionality and user safety are irrelevant.

PUAs operate by causing redirects, delivering intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gathering private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed via downloaders/installers of other products. This deceptive marketing tactic of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is termed "bundling".

Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., skipped steps and sections, etc.) increase the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content. Intrusive adverts are also used to proliferate PUAs as well.

Upon being clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications stealthily. Select PUAs also have "official" download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to always research products before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, only official and verified download channels must be used. Untrustworthy download sources, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer deceptive and bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, explore all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, features, and other additions. It is just as important to exercise caution when browsing.

Intrusive advertisements appear ordinary and harmless; however, they redirect to highly questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.). In case of encounters with such ads and/or redirects, the system must be checked and all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed from it.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
