More information about pages like gettingyourcontent[.]com

A big part of pages similar to gettingyourcontent[.]com use clickbait techniques to trick visitors into agreeing to receive their notifications. For instance, they display fake CAPTCHAs. Users do not open pages of this type intentionally - these sites get opened through shady ads, unreliable pages or present potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

How did adware install on my computer?

Users download or install PUAs through downloaders and installers for other programs, advertisements designed to run specific scripts, fake installers. Downloaders and installers used to distribute PUAs have settings that can be used to deselect optional downloads or installations. Not all users know that and change those settings.

Typically, unwanted apps can be deselected using "Advanced", "Custom", or other settings. Ads that can download or install PUAs cause it when users click on them. Fake installers install PUAs instead of other programs (or updates, fixes for them).

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Third-party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks, unofficial websites, and other sources should not be trusted to download or install any programs, files. They should be downloaded from official websites and via direct links. Advertisements appearing on dubious pages should not be trusted (clicked) as well.

It is also recommended not to download or install programs without checking their downloaders or installers for potentially unwanted applications. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
