Remove hotbfuregi.today pop-up ads

hotbfuregi.today is a deceptive website that aims to trick users into allowing desktop ads. It uses a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to request permission to show notifications on users’ desktops. Legitimate sites show useful notifications about the content they post, but sites like hotbfuregi.today use the feature to spam ads. Thus, if you click “Allow” on the “hotbfuregi.today wants to show notifications” alert, you will authorize the site to show notifications on your desktop. We should also mention that those ads could expose you to potentially dangerous content, including scams and malware.

 

 

The “show notifications” feature is often misused by sites like hotbfuregi.today to expose users to ads. The site has no content on it, besides an image and a prompt that claims you need to allow notifications. The site offers no valuable content, so its notifications will be no different. Its notifications could lead to highly questionable content. In some cases, even to malware or scams. Since these notifications appear in a spot similar to legitimate system alerts, unsuspecting users might inadvertently engage with harmful content. It’s wise to remove hotbfuregi.today from your list of sites with notification permissions as soon as possible if you were tricked into giving it.

We recommend you scan your computer with the anti-virus program WiperSoft to see if adware is causing these redirects. If adware is found, WiperSoft will remove it. Whether adware is detected or not, you still need to install an adblocker program to block redirects and ads, especially if you frequent ad-heavy sites.

Adware often triggers redirects to questionable websites

Random redirects to websites like hotbfuregi.today are likely triggered by the sites you visit. If you often browse ad-heavy websites, particularly those that have adult or pirated content, it’s not surprising that you experience these redirects. Such websites frequently try to expose users to as many ads as possible. To help block these intrusive pop-up ads and redirects, simply install an adblocker program.

Less commonly, redirects may be triggered by adware on the computer. If adware is the culprit, you may find yourself frequently redirected, regardless of the website you’re on. Adware and similar infections typically install through software bundling, which allows said infections to be attached to popular free programs as extra offers. These offers are set to install without requiring explicit consent from users. What’s more, while these bundled offers are optional, they are hidden, which prevents many users from being able to deselect them.

To avoid unwanted installations, choose Advanced (Custom) settings when installing free programs rather than Default. The installation window usually recommends Default settings, but these settings hide additional offers and permit their installation. If you select Advanced settings, you’ll make these offers visible and have the option to deselect anything you don’t want. It’s strongly recommended to uncheck all offers since they’re unlikely to be beneficial and can be challenging to remove later. Taking a moment to uncheck a few boxes at the beginning can save you a lot of trouble down the line.
