What is Tidenous.com?
Tidenous.com is an unreliable website that, according to our researchers, was built to promote suspicious applications. At the time of research, it was promoting a known PUP (potentially unwanted program) called “OneSafe PC Cleaner,” whose removal guide we created back in 2015. However, the download link that was placed on the website did not actually route to the installer of the PUP. It seems that the site is either broken or not yet fully built. Unfortunately, with slight modifications, the creator of this website could easily promote any PUP or malicious infection, and we certainly do not believe that OneSafe PC Cleaner is the only tool that it might push. Obviously, if you have been routed to this website and if you have downloaded anything promoted on it, we suggest scanning your system. Employ a trusted malware scanner, and it will help you figure out if you need to delete Tidenous.com-related threats. Once you scan the system, read this report in full to understand how this scam works.
How does Tidenous.com work?
If you have been redirected to Tidenous.com/lands/en/1, it is most likely that you were careless when interacting with advertisements and links presented on suspicious websites. Perhaps the ad promoting the website keeps showing up? That could be the case if you continue to visit the same website, or if adware exists on your operating system. If that is the case, the malware scanner should detect it. Most likely, however, you are redirected to the suspicious site randomly. When Anti-Spyware-101.com malware analysts checked this website, it presented a very unconvincing message. We believe that even less experienced users should realize that the message is misleading. According to it, your Windows operating system must have “junk files” built up. Due to this, you are advised to install a so-called “all-in-one Windows utility” that can remove junk files, clean the Windows memory, and also protect private data. This is how OneSafe PC Cleaner is introduced. The ‘Download’ button below this message routed to tidenous.com/click.php?lp=1 at the time of research, but nothing was downloaded.
It is true that your Windows operating system could be occupied by space-hogging junk files, but you do not need to install random software to delete them. In fact, you might be able to clear junk on your own. What you should not do is install the first tool that comes your way because that is how people let in PUPs and dangerous malware. Whenever you come across an attractive program/application/extension, you need to think carefully if installing it makes sense, if its services are not too-good-to-be-true, and if third-party reviews are positive. Needless to say, OneSafe PC Cleaner is not a trusted program, and we do not recommend installing it. Even if Tidenous.com goes on to promote a different program, it is unlikely to be any better or more trustworthy. Therefore, if you are routed to Tidenous.com, the first thing you need to do is close the browser. Then you need to scan your system to check for adware and malware. If you end up being tricked into downloading something, you should delete it immediately.
How to remove Tidenous.com
In conclusion, facing Tidenous.com is bad news. This website cannot offer any trustworthy applications, and if you end up installing them, you could be tricked into thinking that there is something wrong with your system or that you need to delete malware, and that is how you could be swindled out of money. The instructions you can see below show how to clear browsing data on different browsers and how to uninstall unwanted applications. Hopefully, that is enough to remove Tidenous.com-related PUPs. Of course, do not forget that you also can install anti-malware software for automated malware removal. This software also can protect you, which is why we recommend installing it. Another thing to be mindful about is unfamiliar websites, pop-ups, and advertisements. If you know how you were redirected to the suspicious download site, you should be able to avoid following the same path in the future.
