Delete Convenienc.biz pop-ups

Convenienc.biz is one those questionable websites that pushes a social engineering scam. When you get redirected to the site, you will see a pop-up saying “Convenienc.biz wants to show notifications”. If press “Allow”, you will be spammed with ads, even when not browsing.

 

Browsers have a feature that allows websites to send users notifications, if users grant the sites permission. That’s why you see browser pop-ups appear when visiting certain sites that ask you to give them permission to show notifications. If you allow, for example, a news website to show you notifications, you would start getting notifications about important news stories, even when you’re not on the site. This can be a useful feature if you want to be updated about news stories, discounts, updates, etc. However, unsurprisingly, dubious sites like Convenienc.biz misuse this feature to spam users with advertisements to generate revenue.

When you get redirected to Convenienc.biz, a pop-up will appear, saying “Convenienc.biz wants to show notifications”. The site itself, which is supposed to be some kind of sports news website, will ask that you press “Allow” in order to access the site. If you grant it permission, you will be spammed with ads. Convenienc.biz is not a reliable website so allowing it to show you notifications would be a big mistake. Some of the ads may be purposely made to appear like legitimate system notifications, and since they appear at a similar place, confusing the two is possible. So you could end up engaging with dangerous ads if you’re not careful.

It’s important to determine why you’re being redirected in order to remove Convenienc.biz redirects. If it’s a random one-time redirect, you don’t need to do anything, besides install adblocker. However, if you’re redirected consonantly, seemingly out of the blue, you’re probably dealing with adware. If that’s the case, you would need to remove it to stop Convenienc.biz redirects.

Redirects to Convenienc.biz could be caused by adware

There are two ways you could end up on sites like Convenienc.biz. You were either redirected by adware installed on your computer, or you were browsing a high-risk website and clicked on something that triggered a redirect. If it’s the latter, use adblocker when visiting certain websites and you should be okay.

However, if you are constantly redirected, it’s likely adware that’s causing the issues. Adware is pretty minor, in the sense that it doesn’t actually harm the computer directly. It primarily tries to expose users to ads. It installs using software bundling, which allows it to come attached to free software as an extra offer and install alongside without requiring permission. The offers are optional so you can prevent their installation, fairly easily at that. When installing free programs, opt for Advanced (Custom) settings instead of Default. Advanced will make all added offers visible, and you will be able to deselect all of them. All you need to do is uncheck the boxes. Keep in mind that most free programs will come with these offers, so you always have to deselect them.

Convenienc.biz removal

In order to delete Convenienc.biz redirects permanently, you need to determine why you’re being redirected to it in the first place. If it’s a random redirect triggered by the site you were visiting, it’s probably a one time thing. Install adblocker and keep it enabled when browsing high-risk websites and that should prevent redirects. However, if the redirects are caused by adware, you need to get rid of it to stop the redirects. Doing that is easiest using anti-virus software, such as WiperSoft. It’s also necessary to revoke the site’s permission to show you notifications. Fortunately, it’s not difficult to do and you can use the below provided instructions if you need help.

• For Mozilla Firefox: Open menu (the three bars top-right corner) -> Options -> Privacy & Security. Scroll down to Permissions, press on Settings next to Notifications, and remove Convenienc.biz.

• For Google Chrome: Open menu (the three dots top-right corner) -> Settings -> Privacy and security -> Site Settings. Click on Notifications under Permissions, and remove Convenienc.biz. You can stop these notification requests permanently by toggling off “Sites can ask to send notifications”.
