What is the Cleantoclean.xyz Website?
Cleantoclean.xyz is a website that computer users will not visit voluntarily. This is why its creators use other methods, such as bundling it with the installation of a free application provided by third parties or redirections, when the computer user visits a corrupted website or clicks on a compromised advertisement, to obtain access to a targeted machine.
However, to perform the tasks it was programmed to do, Cleantoclean.xyz needs to obtain the computer users' permission to use their Web browser's notifications feature. To convince them that they should click on the 'Allow' button that will unlock the notifications utilization, Cleantoclean.xyz will use some tricks, such as claiming that the 'Allow' button belongs to a Captcha test or needs to be pressed to release a video, etc.
Once Cleantoclean.xyz is allowed to use the notifications feature, he will:
- Change the user's browse setting so that a new homepage and search engine will replace the ones used before.
- Display numerous advertisements that will prevent the computer users from viewing the content of the site they were visiting.
Cleantoclean.xyz is classified as adware and browser hijacker, which are not considered a threat to the affected machine. However, the redirections it does, the corrupted advertisements it displays and the data it can collect from the machine, make Cleantoclean.xyz a strong candidate for removal. An easy and effective way to remove Cleantoclean.xyz is by using an anti-malware program.
