Tidenous.com

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. Read more »
