Hookupfornights[.]com and similar pages in general

Hookupfornights[.]com cannot be trusted - it can show deceptive notifications and open potentially malicious websites. Users do not visit pages like hookupfornights[.]com intentionally. Most of them get opened through shady ads, dubious sites, or installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

How did adware install on my computer?

Most PUAs are distributed through downloaders and installers for other programs, deceptive advertisements designed to run certain scripts and fake installers. Users download or install PUAs via downloaders or installers when they finish download or installation processes without changing "Custom", "Advanced", and other similar settings.

Ads can cause unwanted downloads or installations when they are designed to execute certain scripts. Those ads appear on untrustworthy pages. Third-party, fake installers also are promoted through shady websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Unwanted downloads and installations can be avoided by downloading apps and files only from official websites and via direct links. Also, they can be avoided by checking "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings before downloading or installing programs.

One more way to avoid unexpected downloads or installations is not to click on ads that shady pages have on them. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
