Remove hotbgebidi.today pop-ups

If you allow hotbgebidi.today to show notifications, you will see ads on your desktop. The site misuses a legitimate browser feature and tries to trick users into allowing ads. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “hotbgebidi.today wants to show notifications”. These ads could expose you to potentially dangerous content, so even if you have given the site permission, you need to revoke it right away. Until you do, do not interact with the notifications.

 

 

hotbgebidi.today has nothing on it, besides a message prompting you to click “Allow” on the “hotbgebidi.today wants to show notifications” alert. The site tries to give the impression that if you click “Allow”, you will be able to access the site. However, by granting this permission, you’re allowing the site to display ads on your desktop. This site is misusing a legitimate feature; while credible websites show useful notifications (like news updates), sites such as hotbgebidi.today primarily bombard users with unwanted and potentially harmful advertisements. These ads may not only be annoying but also dangerous. They might imitate real system alerts and lead users to interact with deceitful or harmful content. For example, you might be shown fake virus alerts urging you to download dubious anti-malware software.

If you’re experiencing one or two redirects, you probably just need to have an adblocker program. However, frequent redirects could indicate an adware infection. It’s a good idea to run a scan with WiperSoft anti-virus software to check for any possible infections. If you’ve accidentally allowed hotbgebidi.today to send notifications, revoke that permission right away. Instructions on how to do this can be found at the end of this report.

What triggers redirects to sites like hotbgebidi.today?

There are two main reasons you might be redirected to websites like hotbgebidi.today. One common trigger is adware, which usually also means an increase in regular ads. However, it’s more likely that you’re visiting ad-heavy websites, especially those with adult or pirated content, without using an adblocker. On these sites, a click on anything can trigger a redirect. Using even a decent adblocker can help you block these ads and redirects.

Many users inadvertently install adware through a method known as software bundling. This happens when adware is bundled with popular free programs as an additional offer. These offers usually install automatically unless you manually deselect them. However, they are hidden in certain settings, making them difficult to notice. Consequently, software bundling has gained a controversial reputation. Programs that use this method are often flagged as potential threats by anti-virus programs.

To keep your device free of junk programs, do not allow bundled offers to be installed. When installing programs, make sure to use Advanced (Custom) settings. The installation window typically suggests Default settings, which allow all bundled offers to be installed without your explicit consent. Instead, select Advanced (Custom) settings to review and uncheck any unwanted additional offers. Legitimate programs do not use software bundling, so it’s a good idea to deselect all offers, regardless of how useful they may appear at first.
