It also opens websites that trick people into updating their Flash players by downloading fake updaters (unwanted or malicious software).

It often redirects to websites designed to promote various potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). Therefore, avoid the pugu5l.com website.

People who are forced to visit this site generally have PUAs installed. These cause redirects to untrustworthy pages, deliver ads, and collect data. Examples of other websites similar to pugu5l.com include dartsearch.net, tweakingtools.info, and getmacsoft.com
