Remove baselanding.site pop-up ads

If you notice baselanding.site pop-up ads appearing on your desktop, you’ve allowed the site to show notifications. You were likely redirected to baselanding.site, where you got a browser alert saying “baselanding.site wants to show notifications”. If you clicked “Allow”, you authorized the site to show notifications on your desktop. baselanding.site is a scam website so its notifications will be ads, which could lead you to potentially dangerous content, including scams and malware.

 

 

You will quickly notice that baselanding.site does not have any content on it. The only thing it has is an image of a video player and a message saying you need to click “Allow” on the “baselanding.site wants to show notifications” alert to watch the video or continue. By clicking “Allow”, you will give the site permission to display ads on your desktop. The site is misusing a legitimate feature, and while legitimate websites will show useful notifications (e.g. news updates) sites like baselanding.site mainly spam you with unwanted and even potentially dangerous advertisements. These ads can be not only irritating but also potentially harmful. They may mimic real system alerts, misleading users into interacting with dangerous or scam content. For instance, you could see fake virus warnings urging you to download questionable anti-malware programs.

While encountering one or two redirects usually only means it’s time to install an adblocker, frequent redirects may indicate adware infection. It’s a good idea to scan your computer with WiperSoft anti-virus software to check. If you’ve mistakenly allowed baselanding.site to send notifications, revoke that permission immediately. You can find instructions on how to do this at the end of this report.

What triggers redirects to sites like baselanding.site?

There are various reasons why you might be redirected to websites like baselanding.site. One possibility is that your device may have adware, which can lead to frequent redirect issues. But more likely is you visiting ad-heavy sites, particularly those that have adult or pirated content, without an adblocker program. On those sites, anything you click on will trigger a redirect. However, using a good adblocker program can effectively block these redirects and ads.

Many users accidentally install adware through a method known as software bundling. This way it works is adware infections are added to popular free software as additional offers. These offers often install automatically unless users opt out. But the offers are hidden in certain settings, which prevents users from noticing them. This has earned software bundling a reputation as a controversial installation method. Programs using software bundling are often flagged as potential threats by anti-virus software because of this.

To avoid junk on your device, do not allow any of these offers to install. The installation window always recommends Default settings, but these settings allow all bundled offers to be installed without your explicit approval. Instead, choose Advanced (Custom) settings, which enable you to review and uncheck any additional offers you don’t want. Legitimate programs generally don’t use software bundling, so it’s a good idea to decline all offers, no matter how useful they may seem at first.
