Robo-checker[.]top and similar pages in general

Robo-checker[.]top is similar to escribeda[.]xyz, aclientirethe[.]xyz, yourhotfeed[.]com, and many other pages designed to ask for permission to show notifications and promote dubious sites. In most cases, these pages are promoted through untrustworthy advertisements or websites, or PUAs.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most potentially unwanted applications are distributed via downloaders or installers for other programs, advertisements designed to execute certain scripts, or fake installers. Users download or install PUAs via downloaders and installers when they do not deselect optional downloads or installations using "Manual", "Custom", or other settings.

Advertisements can cause unexpected downloads or installations only when users click on them. Fake installers are promoted on deceptive websites, for example, on pages suggesting that users need to update some installed software

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to download applications and files only from official, trustworthy pages, use direct download links, and not finish downloads and installations without checking downloaders and installers for "Advanced", "Custom", and other settings.

Also, it is advisable not to trust advertisements that questionable websites have on them. By clicking those ads, users could open malicious sites or cause unwanted downloads or even installations. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
