Pages like cowboy2u4me[.]me in general

Cowboy2u4me[.]me is an untrustworthy page capable of opening other pages of this kind and showing unwanted notifications. Websites of this type are promoted through dubious ads, websites, and potentially unwanted applications. Most users download and install PUAs unintentionally.

How did adware install on my computer?

A big part of PUAs is distributed through downloaders and installers for other programs, ads designed to run certain scripts, and fake installers. Users often can find PUAs mentioned in "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual" or other similar options that certain downloaders or installers have.

PUAs get permission to be downloaded or installed when users leave the settings mentioned above unchanged. Fake installers and deceptive advertisements used to distribute PUAs are promoted on/through shady pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to download programs (and files) from official, legitimate websites and avoid using third-party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks, unofficial websites, or other sources or tools. It is also important not to download or install programs without checking downloaders and installers for "Advanced", "Custom", or other settings.

One more way to prevent unwanted apps from being downloaded or installed is not to click ads that shady websites 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.
