The only thing the site does is misuse a legitimate browser feature to spam ads on users’ desktops. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “appsuccess.monster wants to show notifications”, and if you click “Allow”, you will authorize the site to show ads on your desktop. It’s worth mentioning that those ads could expose you to potentially dangerous content, including scams and malware. You can find instructions for how to revoke a site’s permission to show notifications at the end of the report.

 

 

appsuccess.monster prompts your browser to show a browser alert saying “appsuccess.monster wants to show notifications”. While this might not seem like a big deal if you’re not familiar with the feature, clicking “Allow” will authorize the site to show ads directly on your desktop. This feature is legitimate and allows websites to show convenient notifications, but appsuccess.monster is a scam site, and its notifications will primarily consist of advertisements.

Ads from sites like appsuccess.monster can be dangerous. Some ads might mimic real system alerts, trying to trick you into interacting with them. For instance, you could see fake virus warnings aiming to convince you to download harmful software. Therefore, if you’ve allowed notifications from appsuccess.monster, it’s best to refrain from engaging with any notifications until you revoke that permission.

If you mistakenly click “Allow”, revoking the permission is not difficult, and you can follow the instructions in the last part of this report. Additionally, it’s a good idea to check for an adware infection that could be causing these redirects by scanning your computer with the anti-virus program WiperSoft. If adware is identified, you’ll need to remove it to stop further redirects to appsuccess.monster. Moreover, you need to install an ad blocker, especially if you often visit sites filled with ads.

Adware may be what triggers redirects to sites like appsuccess.monster

There are various reasons you might find yourself redirected to dubious sites like appsuccess.monster. One possible cause is adware, which is usually accompanied by an increase in regular advertisements as well. Adware is often bundled with popular free programs as an optional offer, particularly with programs downloaded from unofficial sources. These additional offers are set to install automatically alongside the main program unless you specifically uncheck them during installation.

To avoid installing these extra offers, pay attention when installing free programs. Opt for Advanced (Custom) settings to make all offers visible, and remember to uncheck all offers. Some may appear beneficial initially, but keep in mind that legitimate programs do not rely on this kind of installation method, and those that do often get flagged as potential threats by anti-virus programs.

If you’re encountering random redirects while browsing risky, ad-heavy websites, the issue might lie with the sites themselves. It’s advisable to always use an ad blocker to prevent both ads and redirects, especially on sites that are full of ads.
