Remove heriqo.info notifications

heriqo.info is a deceptive website that tries to trick users into allowing desktop ads. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “heriqo.info wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, you will authorize the site to show ads on your desktop. While this permission is easily revokable, keep in mind that heriqo.info’s ads could expose you to highly dangerous content.

 

 

When you get redirected to the site, your browser will show an alert that says “heriqo.info wants to show notifications”. Supposedly, the site is prompting you to allow notifications in order to access its content. However, granting permission will only result in your desktop being spammed with advertisements as the site is misusing a legitimate browser feature. It’s best to avoid engaging with these notifications, as they may not be safe. The ads will appear in a location similar to legitimate system notifications, making it easy to confuse the two. They might also try to deceive you into downloading questionable software or even malware, and could present scams as well. There’s no valid reason to enable notifications from a site like heriqo.info, but if you’ve already done so, revoke that permission immediately. If you’re unsure how to do this, refer to the instructions at the end of the report.

Additionally, since these redirects might be caused by adware, we highly recommend scanning your computer with an anti-virus program such as WiperSoft. What’s more, install an adblocker program to block unwanted ads.

Adware is often responsible for redirects to questionable websites

If you’re experiencing frequent redirects, it could mean that your computer is either affected by adware or that you’re visiting ad-heavy websites without an adblocker. If these redirects only happen when on specific sites, such as adult or pirated content sites, it’s likely those particular sites are the trigger. To avoid the redirects, simply install an ad blocker. This tool can help prevent redirects and ads or, at the very least, close pop-ups as soon as they show up.

On the other hand, if you’re being redirected regularly, regardless of which website you’re visiting, your computer might be infected with adware. It’s important to note that while adware can be annoying, it typically doesn’t harm computers. Adware and browser hijackers often use a method known as software bundling to install, which allows them to install without explicit user consent. The way it works is those infections come bundled with popular free programs as optional extra offers, which are set to install automatically.

Many users are unaware that these additional programs are included in the programs they install because they are hidden. To avoid installing junk, you should select Advanced (Custom) settings when installing free programs. Many make the mistake of choosing Default settings, which conceal extra offers and allow their automatic installations. With Advanced settings, you can see all the additional offers and uncheck what you don’t want.
