If your Web browser is continuously being sent to the Foundedcontrol.com site, then you most likely have a browser extension that is potentially unwanted or a rogue program installed on your computer. Foundedcontrol.com is a site that alters your browser to send you to pages that contain advertisements for unwanted Chrome extensions, surveys, adult sites, online web games, fake software updates and unwanted programs.

The Foundedcontrol.com site is being shown by websites that send you to the site, spam notifications, or by adware that automatically opens the page without your permission. These advertisements will be displayed frequently enough that they will become annoying and most likely harmful to the system if the wrong software is installed.

To remove spam notifications from the Google Chrome Web browser:

  • Click the button on the Menu in the upper right corner of your screen (three dots) and select "Settings" In the opened window select "Privacy and security", then click on "Site Settings" and choose "Notifications"
  • In the "Allowed to send notifications" list, look for websites that you want to block notifications. Click on the icon near the website URL (three dots) and click "Block" or "Remove" (if you click "Remove" and visit the malicious site once more, it will ask to enable notifications again).

Remove spam notifications from Mozilla Firefox:

  • Click the button (three bars menu) on the upper right corner of the screen. Select "Settings" and click on "Privacy & Security" in the toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen. Scroll down to the "Permissions" section and click the "Settings" button next to "Notifications"
  • In the window that will open, locate all suspicious URLs and block them using the drop-down menu or either remove them by clicking "Remove Website" at the bottom of the window (if you click "Remove Website" and visit the corrupted site once more, it will ask to enable notifications again).
