Remove hotbbixule.today ads

hotbbixule.today is a generic scam website whose sole purpose is to trick users into allowing desktop ads. To do this, the site is using a legitimate browser feature, which is why you will get a browser alert saying “hotbbixule.today wants to show notifications” when you get redirected to the site. Keep in mind that while the feature is legitimate, allowing hotbbixule.today to show notifications will result in ads on your desktop. It’s also worth mentioning that those ads may expose you to potentially dangerous content.

 

 

If you get redirected to hotbbixule.today, you’ll immediately see a browser alert asking if you want to allow notifications from the site. The website contains no real content—just a fake video player that plays a video briefly before stopping. It suggests that clicking “Allow” will enable the video to play, which may deceive users looking for free streaming options for pirated movies and TV shows. Be aware that if you allow these notifications, your desktop will be flooded with ads that may resemble system notifications. Interacting with these ads could lead you to dangerous websites that promote scams or distribute malware.

While the “show notifications” option is useful when permission is given to legitimate sites, it is often misused by sites like hotbbixule.today. Fortunately, you can revoke notification permissions for any site whenever you want. You can find instructions at the end of the report.

If you find yourself being redirected frequently, this may indicate an adware infection on your device. It’s a good idea to scan your computer with WiperSoft anti-virus software. Additionally, using an adblocker can be effective in preventing ads, especially when on ad-heavy websites.

What triggers redirects to sites like hotbbixule.today

Redirects to websites like hotbbixule.today often occur when users browse ad-heavy sites without having an adblocker installed on their devices. Many of these sites bombard visitors with ads, leading to numerous pop-ups and unwanted redirects. Typically, websites that host pirated or adult content are more likely to cause these redirects, no matter what users click on. However, users can easily prevent both ads and redirects by using any decent adblocker program.

If adware is behind the redirects, they will happen frequently and may be accompanied by an overall increase in regular ads. While adware is usually considered a minor issue, the constant flood of advertisements can be quite annoying. Adware, alongside browser hijackers and similar threats, often gets installed through a method called software bundling. This method allows unwanted programs to be added to popular free programs as additional offers, installing them automatically unless users manually decline them. Although it’s possible to refuse these extra offers, they are hidden in settings that users don’t typically check. Because of this deceptive approach, programs that use software bundling can be flagged as potential threats by anti-virus software.

To avoid unwanted installations, simply pay attention when installing free programs. Users are usually given the option to choose between Default and Advanced settings. Opting for Default settings, which the installation window recommends, will permit all bundled offers to be installed without explicit permission. On the other hand, Advanced settings reveal each offer, allowing you to opt out of any that you might not want. It’s strongly recommended to uncheck all offers, even if they appear useful at first, to keep your computer free of junk.
