Remove aecroicited.com notifications

aecroicited.com is a deceptive website that aims to trick users into allowing ads on the desktop. To do this, it misuses a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to request permission to show notifications on the desktop. This is why you will get a browser alert saying “aecroicited.com wants to show notifications” when you get redirected to the site. Clicking “Allow” will allow the site to display notifications on the desktop. Unfortunately, aecroicited.com’s notifications will just be ads. However, if you have given the site permission, you can easily revoke it in your browser’s settings.

 

 

aecroicited.com does not have anything on it, besides a fake video player that stops after several seconds. Once the video player stops, a browser alert pops up saying “aecroicited.com wants to show notifications”, and you’re asked to click “Allow” to confirm that you’re not a robot. If you click “Allow,” the site will be given permission to send notifications directly to your desktop. Unfortunately, these notifications are going to be ads, as aecroicited.com is known to be a deceptive website.

Many of the ads you see could be harmful and might lead you to sites that contain malware or scams. For instance, the notifications from aecroicited.com might be disguised to look like virus alerts from your anti-virus software to trick you into downloading something or making a purchase. If you’ve granted this site permission, it’s recommended to not interact with the notifications and to revoke the permission as soon as you can.

While the feature to show notifications can be legitimate, sites like aecroicited.com often misuse it. However, you can safely allow notifications from reputable sites. For example, if you frequently visit a news site, enabling notifications from it could give you convenient access to important news articles. You can easily revoke this permission in your browser settings when you no longer want to see the notifications.

Scan your computer with WiperSoft to check for an adware infection. If adware is the issue, an anti-virus program would be the most effective way to remove it. If you’ve allowed notifications from the site, you can quickly revoke this permission in your browser settings. Detailed instructions will be provided at the end of this report to help users navigate their browser settings.

Why are you redirected to aecroicited.com?

Users are usually redirected to sites like aecroicited.com when visiting ad-heavy websites, especially if they don’t have an adblocker program installed. Many sites, particularly those featuring pornographic or pirated content, are notorious for bombarding visitors with ads regardless of what users click on. However, a reliable adblocker program can effectively block these redirects and unwanted advertisements.

Frequent redirects could also signal an adware infection, which typically means an increase in regular ads as well. While adware isn’t usually classified as a severe threat, it can be quite annoying. This type of software, along with browser hijackers and similar issues, is often bundled with legitimate programs through a practice known as software bundling. This method allows unwanted software to be installed without explicit consent, as it is often included as an extra offer in popular free programs. Although these offers are optional, users need to manually uncheck them to prevent installation. These additional offers are hidden in settings that many users don’t use, making software bundling a questionable installation method. Applications that use this method are frequently flagged as potential threats by anti-virus programs.

Preventing unwanted program installations is easy if you choose the correct settings when installing free programs. During installation, the installation window typically suggests Default settings, which allows all bundled offers to install automatically. Instead, opt for Advanced settings, which will display all additional offers and give you the option to uncheck them. Allowing any of these offers to install will eventually lead to your computer becoming cluttered with unwanted programs that can be difficult to remove once fully installed.

How to stop aecroicited.com notifications?

Check your computer for adware infections with the WiperSoft anti-virus program. If adware is causing your redirects, using anti-virus software is the most straightforward way to eliminate it. Moreover, installing a trustworthy adblocker program can help you avoid unwanted redirects and intrusive ads when visiting sites filled with advertisements.
