Sites like hotbxevumi.today, exploit the “show notifications” feature to bombard users’ desktops with advertisements. Upon entering the site, you’ll immediately get a browser alert saying “hotbxevumi.today wants to show notifications”. This site lacks any kind of content, so giving this site permission is a bad idea, as your desktop will be spammed with intrusive ads. The site itself is questionable, and the ads it shows could expose you to harmful content. What’s more, these advertisements often mimic legitimate system notifications, making it easy to be misled into interacting with them. If you have already given this site permission, revoke that permission as soon as possible. You can find instructions at the end of the report.

We strongly advise scanning your computer with WiperSoft or a similar anti-virus program to check for an adware infection. Adware can be quite stealthy, and you might not notice its presence until you experience unwanted redirects. If adware is indeed the issue, removing it is the only way to stop the redirects.

Possible causes for random redirects

If you get redirected while visiting an ad-heavy site—such as those hosting adult or pirated content—it’s usually a one-time occurrence, especially if you clicked on something that triggered it. Visiting such sites without an adblocker program can lead to these unexpected redirects.

However, if you experience redirects frequently, even on safe websites, it might indicate that your computer is infected with adware. Despite being relatively harmless in terms of damage, adware can be quite bothersome. Adware usually comes bundled with free programs as an optional offer, which can easily go unnoticed during installation. This process is known as software bundling and is a common way for adware, browser hijackers, and similar programs to install on users’ computers unnoticed. Because it allows unwanted programs to be installed without explicit permission, software bundling is generally viewed negatively, and many anti-virus programs flag programs that use it as potential threats.

When you install free programs, these additional offers are set to install by default unless you manually deselect them. The problem is that these offers are hidden, making it difficult for users to deselect them. To avoid installing them, you need to choose Advanced or Custom installation settings, where the offers will be displayed clearly. While installation windows may suggest using Default settings, this is not advisable, as it keeps the offers hidden and will result in their installation. By selecting Advanced settings, you can see all offers and have the option to uncheck them.

To check if your computer is infected with adware, we recommend running a scan using an anti-virus program such as WiperSoft. If adware is detected, WiperSoft will remove it. However, if adware isn’t the source of the problem, you need an adblocker program.
