Remove adsforfunrtb.top pop-up ads

adsforfunrtb.top is a generic scam website whose main goal is to trick users into allowing desktop ads. If you get redirected to this site, you will get a browser alert saying “adsforfunrtb.top wants to show notifications”. The site is misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to show notifications on users’ desktops. Only instead of notifications, adsforfunrtb.top shows ads if it gets permission. Fortunately, even if you have given it permission, you can easily revoke it in your browser’s settings.

 

 

The website adsforfunrtb.top has nothing on it besides a prompt that asks you to click “Allow” to continue. It’s referring to the browser alert saying “adsforfunrtb.top wants to show notifications” that pops up when you enter the site. If you click “Allow”, the site will be authorized to flood your desktop with advertisements. These ads usually appear on the right side of the screen, similarly to legitimate system alerts. They may even be designed to resemble legitimate notifications, aiming to deceive users. It’s advisable to avoid engaging with these ads, as they could direct you to sites that contain malware or promote scams. If you’ve already authorized the site to show notifications, we’ve included steps at the end of this report to help you revoke that permission.

It’s strongly recommended to run a scan using an anti-virus program like WiperSoft to check for adware. If you’ve allowed notifications from adsforfunrtb.top, be sure to remove the permission.

What triggers redirects to sites like adsforfunrtb.top?

If you find yourself unexpectedly redirected to adsforfunrtb.top, there could be a few triggers. The issue might stem from adware or the websites you’re visiting. Such redirects are often linked to sites that feature a lot of advertisements, particularly those with adult or pirated content, which tend to expose users to questionable ads to generate income. To block intrusive ads and unwanted redirects, simply use an adblocker program.

If adware is the cause, you might notice frequent redirects and an increase in advertisements. While this can be quite annoying, adware typically isn’t a major security risk. These infections often spread through a method known as software bundling, where unwanted programs like adware are bundled with popular free programs as extra offers. Users may unintentionally agree to install these offers when installing programs, as these options are usually set to install automatically unless manually deselected. Unfortunately, these offers are hidden, making software bundling a controversial method.

To prevent unwanted installations, pay attention when installing free programs. Opt for Advanced (Custom) settings when given the option, as Default settings will allow additional offers to install without your consent. By selecting Advanced, you can review all bundled offers and uncheck any you don’t want. It’s generally best to reject all extra offers since legitimate programs generally don’t use this method. Allowing these unwanted installations can lead to clutter.

How to stop adsforfunrtb.top notifications?

We recommend using anti-virus software like WiperSoft to scan your computer for any adware infections. Adware is usually easiest to remove with an anti-virus program. If no adware is detected, the redirects might be linked to the websites you’re visiting. To avoid future redirects and pesky ads, install an adblocker program.
