Remove basicnetworkchain.com pop-up ads

basicnetworkchain.com is a deceptive website that both displays fake virus alerts and tries to trick users into allowing desktop ads. If you engage with the fake virus alert, you could end up downloading something malicious. And if you click “Allow” on the browser alert saying “basicnetworkchain.com wants to show notifications”, you will authorize the site to show ads on your desktop. Those ads will not only be annoying, but they could also expose you to potentially malicious content.

 

 

The website basicnetworkchain.com is currently displaying a fake virus alert that misleadingly warns users about potential infections on their computers. Additionally, it prompts a notification request saying “basicnetworkchain.com wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, the site will start showing ads on your desktop, which can be quite annoying as they repeatedly appear on the right side of your screen. Some of these ads may also be dangerous and could redirect you to sites that harbor malware or other scams. If you have granted permission to the site, avoid interacting with all notifications and revoke the site’s permission as soon as possible. Detailed instructions can be found at the end of the report.

We recommend scanning your computer with WiperSoft as well, as adware might be responsible for these redirects to questionable websites. If adware is indeed the culprit, the easiest way to remove it is by using an anti-virus program.

What triggers redirects to sites like basicnetworkchain.com

When users access ad-heavy websites without an adblocker, they often find themselves redirected to sites like basicnetworkchain.com. Many of these sites, especially those hosting adult or pirated content, aim to maximize ad revenue, with illegal free streaming platforms being particularly known for this behavior. Fortunately, any decent adblocker can successfully prevent these annoying redirects and intrusive ads.

If you experience frequent redirects, it may be a sign of an adware infection, which usually means a significant increase in regular advertisements as well. While adware isn’t considered a serious threat, it can be quite annoying. Adware and browser hijackers often come bundled with popular free software through a method known as software bundling. This allows them to be installed without explicit user consent. Although users can opt out of these additional offers, they are hidden in settings that users rarely use, making it difficult for users to deselect them.

To avoid unwanted junk, it’s important to choose the right settings when installing free programs. Installation windows usually recommend Default settings, which allow all optional offers to install alongside the main program. Instead, opting for Advanced settings will reveal all additional offers, giving you the option to uncheck those you don’t want. Accepting every offer can lead to unnecessary clutter on your computer. Many anti-virus programs flag programs that use software bundling as potential threats as well.

How to stop basicnetworkchain.com notifications?

Use WiperSoft to scan your computer for any adware infections. If adware is causing your redirect issues, the easiest fix is to use WiperSoft to remove it. Once the adware is gone, the redirects should cease. Additionally, installing a good ad blocker can help keep unwanted redirects and intrusive ads at bay, especially on sites that are heavy with advertisements.
