How to stop lowmachampa.com notifications?

lowmachampa.com is a generic website that misuses a legitimate browsing feature to spam users with ads. Immediately upon entering the site, you will get a browser alert saying “lowmachampa.com wants to show notifications”. Clicking “Agree” will result in ads appearing on your desktop.

 

lowmachampa.com does not have any content on it, besides a loading bar and a message saying you need to click “Allow” to continue watching. Immediately upon entering the site, you will get a browser notification saying “lowmachampa.com wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, the site will be authorized to essentially spam ads. These ads can be disguised as system notifications to trick users into interacting with them. These notifications appear similarly to where legitimate system notifications appear.

Interacting with the notifications is not recommended because you could be redirected to potentially dangerous websites. For example, sites promoting scams or concealing malware. If you have given the site permission, you can fortunately easily revoke it.

This “show notifications” feature is often misused by sites like lowmachampa.com, but it can be useful. Provided a site is safe, you can give it permission. If, for example, you frequent a specific website and want to see its contents more conveniently, you can allow it to show notifications. When you get tired of seeing them, you can easily revoke the site’s permission.

It’s a good idea to scan your computer with the anti-virus program WiperSoft because adware could be what’s triggering the redirects. An adblocker program should also be installed.

What triggers redirects to sites like lowmachampa.com

In most cases, redirects to sites like lowmachampa.com are triggered by the questionable websites users visit without an adblocker. Adware can also be the trigger. However, it’s usually because of certain websites. Clicking on anything on those websites (e.g. sites that have pirated or pornographic content) can trigger a redirect. Fortunately, both ads and redirects are easily blockable with an adblocker program.

If adware is what triggers the redirects, they will happen regularly, regardless of what sites you visit. It’s a pretty minor infection, though it can be very annoying. Adware, browser hijackers, and similar infections are usually installed via the software bundling method. The way it works is that infections are added to popular free programs as extra offers. These offers are authorized to be installed automatically. The offers are optional but they need to be manually deselected if you want to prevent their installation. However, this is made difficult by the fact that these offers are hidden in settings users don’t normally use. This is why software bundling is a rather controversial installation method. Anti-virus programs typically detect programs that use software bundling as potential threats.

If you pay attention when installing programs, you should be able to prevent unwanted installations fairly easily. When installing a program, you will be given the option to pick the settings you want to use. The installation window always recommends using Default settings but if you use Default, all added offers will be permitted to install alongside the program. What you should choose is Advanced settings. These settings will clearly show what offers have been added, and you will be able to deselect what you do not want. You simply need to uncheck the boxes. We always recommend deselecting all offers, even if they appear useful at first glance. If you allow these installations, you will only fill your computer with junk programs. These junk programs can be difficult to get rid of once installed.
