Dt69sx.xyz ads (scam) - Free Instructions

What is Dt69sx.xyz ads?

Dt69sx.xyz is a fake website that encourages downloads of potentially unwanted programs

Dt69sx.xyz is a fake website created by crooks to make people download unwanted software

Redirects and ads to Dt69sx.xyz might be one of the adware or malware infection signs, although most commonly, users access this site when browsing insecure places, such as illegal torrent downloads, gambling, etc. Adware installed on the device can manifest as a browser extension or program installed on the system level, hence both locations should be investigated thoroughly.

Once users land on Dt69sx.xyz site, they can be presented with a variety of scams, including those that ask them to download insecure software, subscribe to useless services, or participate in a survey/giveaway. We recommend not interacting with anything promoted on the scam website, as it could result in malware infections, personal data disclosure to malicious parties, or financial losses.

Infection symptoms

There are two may ways how you might end up on Dt69sx.xyz scam website – either you can get redirected after clicking a link on some other website (automatic redirects could also occur, although that is more common on less secure websites) or due to aggressive form of adware installed on your system.

Adware is spread via insecure channels, including misleading advertisements and freeware^[1] installers downloaded from third-party sources. This is one of the main reasons why those infected are unaware that adware is regulating their traffic, and encounters with ads and phishing^[2] websites become a more frequent occurrence.

To conclude, just because you ended up on a scam website, it does not automatically mean that you are infected. However, if you have noticed more strange symptoms, such as pop-ups, deals, offers, coupons, and other types of advertisements showing up randomly when browsing the web, you should get concerned.

Likewise, if you have downloaded software from Dt69sx.xyz or any other website it could link you to, your computer could also be infected. In most cases, it would be a browser hijacker or a similar unwanted application, although one can never guarantee a security level of software downloaded from unknown websites (especially those that use fake messages).

Scam message examples

As mentioned before, several different scam messages could be accommodated by the same website. For example, if you land on such a page and refresh it, you might be rerouted further to Se29.biz, Clean-your-pc.xyz, Columbusstream2.xyz, or similar websites, where further scamming acts could take place.

Most commonly, users who are redirected to the page are asked to update browser extensions or programs that aren't even installed on their devices. Here is one of the most common messages that several similar websites also use:

Update your Chrome browser extension; it may be out of date. By clicking Continue, you will be redirected to the Chrome Store where you can update the Search Verified Chrome browser extension. If you do not already have this browser extension, you will be able to download it, or navigate away to your destination. This extension will offer you a safer web search experience by giving you control to search with a variety of providers.

Evidently, the message implies that some extension is already installed on the browser and needs to be updated. It is not the case, however, and it is a simple way to make users download the software they otherwise wouldn't.

Scam websites are usually encountered after clicking a suspicious link or due to adware infection

If you were already tricked into installing something, you shouldn't worry much as we explain in detail how to eliminate adware and other potentially unwanted programs in detail.

Removal steps explained

If you have not installed any advertised apps from Dt69sx.xyz or similar websites, your computer is likely to be safe. However, since frequent redirects and an increased number of advertisements might be a sign of adware, we recommend you employ the removal instructions regardless of the situation.

First of all, we recommend you download and install anti-malware software, such as SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes, and perform a full system scan. Before proceeding, make sure you update database definitions so that all the newest versions of malware can be identified and removed effectively.

Next, you should check your browsers for unwanted extensions:

Google Chrome

• Open Google Chrome, click on the Menu (three vertical dots at the top-right corner) and select More tools > Extensions.
• In the newly opened window, you will see all the installed extensions. Uninstall all the suspicious plugins that might be related to the unwanted program by clicking Remove.

Mozilla Firefox

• Open Mozilla Firefox browser and click on the Menu (three horizontal lines at the top-right of the window).
• Select Add-ons.
• In here, select the unwanted plugin and click Remove.

MS Edge (Chromium)

• Open Edge and click select Settings > Extensions.
• Delete unwanted extensions by clicking Remove.

Safari

• Click Safari > Preferences…
• In the new window, pick Extensions.
• Select the unwanted extension and select Uninstall.

Potentially unwanted programs might also be installed on the system level. In this case, their scope of functionality might be much broader, and more system components could be affected by the infection. Malware is installed on a similar principle, although you are unlikely to find it in the installed application list (security software can take care of that).

Windows

• Enter Control Panel into Windows search box and hit Enter or click on the search result.
• Under Programs, select Uninstall a program.
• From the list, find the entry of the suspicious program.
• Right-click on the application and select Uninstall.
• If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
• Wait till uninstallation process is complete and click OK.

Mac

While moving apps into Trash is how you delete most common applications, adware tends to create additional files for persistence.^[3] Thus, you should look for .plist and other files that could be related to the virus. If you are not sure, skip this step entirely.

1. From the menu bar, select Go > Applications.
2. In the Applications folder, look for all related entries.
3. Click on the app and drag it to Trash (or right-click and pick Move to Trash)

To fully remove an unwanted app, you need to access Application Support, LaunchAgents, and LaunchDaemons folders and delete relevant files:

1. Select Go > Go to Folder.
2. Enter /Library/Application Support and click Go or press Enter.
3. In the Application Support folder, look for any dubious entries and then delete them.
4. Now enter /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons folders the same way and terminate all the related .plist files.

After PUP or malware removal, you should delete web data and other leftover files from your browsers. This job can be done much easier with software like FortectIntego, which can also fix any damage that could have been caused to your system files while the malware was active.
