Did you just get a pop-up tab from 065b42ba2b.se and wonder where it came from? Did the 065b42ba2b.se ad appear to have been launched from a web site that under normal circumstances don’t use aggressive advertising such as pop-up windows? Or did the 065b42ba2b.se pop up show up while you clicked a link on one of the major search engines, such as Google, Bing or Yahoo?
The first URL was http://065b42ba2b.se/?placement=400583&redirect, which was in my case was opened in a new tab in the browser, which then caused the web browser to load data from adrotator.se. After a while app.pckeeper.com appeared which showed the actual ad.
If you also see this on your system, you almost certainly have some adware installed on your machine that pops up the 065b42ba2b.se ads. So there’s no idea contacting the owner of the site you currently were browsing. The ads are not coming from them. I’ll do my best to help you with the 065b42ba2b.se removal in this blog post. This is done by removing the unwanted adware from your machine.
I found the 065b42ba2b.se pop-up on one of the lab systems where I have some adware running. I’ve talked about this in some of the previous blog posts. The adware was installed on purpose, and from time to time I check if anything new has appeared, such as pop-up windows, new tabs in the browsers, injected ads on web site that usually don’t show ads, or if some new files have been saved to the hard-drive.

So, how do you remove the 065b42ba2b.se pop-up ads? On the machine where I got the 065b42ba2b.se ads I had GamesDesktop, PriceFountain, Movie Wizard, YTDownloader, MedPlayerNewVersion, WebWaltz and SpeedChecker installed. I removed them with FreeFixer and that stopped the 065b42ba2b.se pop-ups and all the other ads I was getting in Mozilla Firefox.
Judging from Alexa’s traffic rank, 065b42ba2b.se is getting quite a lot of traffic:
The issue with pop-ups such as this one is that it can be initiated by many variants of adware, not just the adware running on my computer. This makes it impossible to say exactly what you need to remove to stop the pop-ups.
To remove the 065b42ba2b.se pop-up ads you need to review your computer for adware or other types of unwanted software and uninstall it. Here’s my suggested removal procedure:
- What software do you have installed if you look in the Add/Remove programs dialog in the Windows Control Panel? Something that you don’t remember installing yourself or that was recently installed?
- You can also check the add-ons that you have in your browser. Same thing here, do you see something that you don’t remember installing?
- If that did not help, you can give FreeFixer a try. FreeFixer is built to assist users when manually tracking down adware and other types of unwanted software. It is a freeware utility that I’ve been working since 2006 and it scans your computer at lots of locations where unwanted software is known to hook into your computer. If you would like to get additional details about a file in FreeFixer’s scan result, you can just click the More Info link for that file and a web page with a VirusTotal report will open up, which can be very useful to determine if the file is safe or malware:
