What is Foundedscan.com?

If Foundedscan.com domain keeps opening on your browser on its own, you likely have adware installed on your PC. Most of the time adware ends up on computers after users install free programs and don’t opt out of extra software installation, or when users launch executable files downloaded from untrustworthy sources. Foundedscan.com tries to convince users to click or tap Allow button on a “Show notifications” dialog box. The site says that clicking Allow is necessary to open a page, to watch a video, and so on. If a user clicks the button, Foundedscan.com notifications will start appearing in the lower right corner of his or her screen occasionally with ads and clickbait links to various shady sites. This step-by-step tutorial describes how you can remove Foundedscan.com pop-ups and notifications from your computer.
