Remove hotbvjevizo.today pop-up ads

hotbvjevizo.today is a highly questionable website that tries to trick users into allowing ads on the desktop. It misuses a legitimate browser feature to do this, which is why you’ll get a browser alert saying “hotbvjevizo.today wants to show notifications” when you get redirected to the site. If you click “Allow”, the site will be authorized to show notifications on your desktop. Unfortunately, hotbvjevizo.today’s notifications will be ads. The ads will pop up on the desktop. What’s more, the ads could expose you to potentially malicious content, including scams and malware.

 

 

hotbvjevizo.today, and thousands of other sites like it, take advantage of a legitimate browser feature that permits sites to show notifications to users’ desktops. While notifications from legitimate sites can be useful and interesting depending on their content, hotbvjevizo.today is a deceptive website, and permitting its notifications can be risky. Interacting with the ads could expose you to harmful content. You may be shown fake virus alerts, prompted to download something, or invited to participate in scam giveaways. If you’ve granted notification permissions to this site, do not click on the ads and revoke the permission as soon as possible. Instructions on how to do this will be provided at the end of the report.

Despite its frequent misuse, the notification feature can be of use. For example, allowing a trusted news website to send notifications can keep you informed with news alerts straight on your desktop. Clicking on the notification would take you directly to the news article. You can revoke this permission whenever you want.

We also recommend running a scan with an anti-virus program WiperSoft to check for any adware that may be triggering the redirects. If any adware is found, WiperSoft will remove it. What’s more, you also need to install an adblocker program, especially if you frequent high-risk websites.

Adware may be the reason for the redirects

There are generally two main reasons why you might find yourself being redirected to random websites: either your computer has been infected with adware or some similar infection, or you’ve been browsing ad-heavy sites but do not have an adblocker program. More often than not, it’s the latter. To block both redirects and regular ads, use an adblocker program.

If you notice redirects happening while you’re on safe websites, it may indicate that adware has been installed on your computer. While this type of infection is typically not harmful, it mainly results in excessive advertisements. Adware infections usually come bundled with free programs, meaning they’re attached as additional offers to popular free programs. A lot of free programs have these offers, and they are set to install alongside automatically. To avoid junk programs, it’s important to pay attention when installing free programs. Choose Advanced or Custom settings instead of Default. This allows you to view all extra offers and opt out of those that you don’t want. Although some of these offers might look useful initially, permitting their installation will clutter your computer.
