Boustahe.com: Step-by-step Delete Process

Boustahe.com is a misleading web domain that forces its notifications on users. It does that by stating that they need to click on the Allow button to confirm that they’re over 18 years old, prove that they’re not robots, continue to the site, and misleading prompts alike. Depending on users‘ geolocations, these prompts might differ. Whenever you land on a deceptive site, never accept its notifications otherwise, ads start coming directly on your system’s screen.

But when you accept notifications from this portal, instead of news or anything useful, all you will obtain is a bunch of deceptive adverts.

As stated before, Boustahe.com ads are displayed in the form of notifications. Research says that the “X” button in the right-upper corner of shown ads don’t close the ad. It either doesn’t work or opens a new browser tab with a sponsored page. That’s just one of the tricks that the creators of this dubious site are using. The other one is called sudden redirects. These can be triggered on-demand and can launch your browser and open a new tab with any of its affiliated sites. Hence you might be forced to visit domains with:

• gambling,
• porn,
• tech support scams,
• PUPs,
• push notification viruses,
• malware, etc.

Ways To Distribute Boustahe.com:

Potentially unwanted programs such as adware, browser hijackers, unwanted toolbars, and others can be delivered in a many different ways. But our research suggests that most of them are spread through deceptive ads and software bundles. They are added to a single installer together with regular software as additional components. When people download a freeware from popular site like soft32.com, cnet.com, softonic.com, download.com etc. and then install it using the Quick or Recommended mode set, they end up with infecting their PCs with unwanted threats.

To prevent this, you have to choose the Advanced or Custom mode and remove ticks from all apps pre-selected for installation. Install only the program you initially wanted. Another sure way to get a PUP is to believe misleading ads, especially the ones claiming that you need to update your Flash Player. So, avoid interacting with suspicious ads that generally appear while web surfing. If your machine is already infected with this adware-type intruder, you must remove Boustahe.com from the work-station as early as possible.
