Totalcoolblog[.]com and other pages of this type in general

Totalcoolblog[.]com and similar pages can never be trusted: they open other pages of this kind and ask for permission to show notifications (very often, they use clickbait techniques to trick visitors into granting that permission). More examples of similar pages are ukndaspiratioty[.]xyz, fastdatingroom[.]top, and getlastnews[.]com.

How did adware install on my computer?

Pretty often, PUAs are downloaded and installed together with other programs. It happens when users do not deselect optional downloads or installations before downloading or installing programs bundled with PUAs. It can be done using "Custom", "Advanced" or similar settings available in downloaders or installers for those programs.

Sometimes, PUAs get downloaded or installed when users click certain advertisements or use fake installers downloaded from untrustworthy websites. Ads can cause unwanted downloads or installations only when they are designed to run certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Programs and files available for download on questionable pages or other sources cannot be trusted. It is recommended to use official pages and direct links. Optional downloads or installations in downloaders and installers should be deselected before downloading or installing programs.

It is also recommended not to trust (click) advertisements that pages related to pornography, adult dating, gambling, or other 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.
