Remove light-app.monster ads

light-app.monster is a generic scam website, disguised as a download link generator. The site’s main intent is to trick visitors into allowing desktop ads, and that is done by misusing a legitimate browser feature. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “light-app.monster wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow” on this notification, you will authorize the site to show ads on your desktop. Those ads could expose you to potentially malicious content, including malware and scams. Fortunately, you can easily revoke the permission in your browser’s settings.

 

 

light-app.monster, like thousands of other sites, is taking advantage of a legitimate browser feature that allows websites to send push notifications to users’ desktops. Unfortunately, instead of providing useful notifications, this site displays spam ads. The site itself doesn’t offer any actual content; it only prompts you to enable push notifications to initiate a download. Given the questionable nature of this website, if you click “Allow” on the “light-app.monster wants to show notifications” alert, the site will bombard your desktop with ads, some of which could be potentially dangerous. They may deliver ads urging you to install software or involve you in various scams. If you have allowed notifications from this site, it’s best not to engage with them.

To identify the source of these redirects, it is highly recommended to scan your computer with anti-virus software, such as WiperSoft. If it finds any adware, it will remove it. If no adware is detected, the websites you are visiting may be causing the issue. In this case, consider using an ad blocker to block redirects and pop-ups. Additionally, if you’ve given this site permission to send notifications, you can follow the instructions at the end of the report to revoke that permission.

Your computer may be infected with adware if you’re randomly redirected

There are generally two main reasons you might find yourself redirected to sites like light-app.monster. First, if your computer has adware, you could experience constant redirects. Alternatively, if the redirects occur sporadically and only on specific sites, those sites may be to blame. For instance, websites featuring adult content or pirated material often trigger these kinds of redirects. To address frequent redirects and disruptive pop-up ads, it is advisable to use an adblocker program.

If you encounter random redirects while browsing safe sites, this could indicate an adware infection. Adware primarily focuses on bombarding users with as many advertisements as possible. Infections such as browser hijackers, adware, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) often use a method known as software bundling for installation. This allows them to come bundled with popular free programs as optional offers. However, while these offers are optional, they are set to install alongside automatically, without requiring explicit permission.

To correctly install free programs without unwanted offers, choose Advanced or Custom settings when given the option. The installation window will suggest using Default settings, but this is not recommended as it keeps the offers hidden and installs them automatically. By selecting Advanced settings, you’ll be able to see these offers. If these settings show that offers have been added, make sure to deselect them. Even if an offer seems useful, it’s best not to allow its installation, as it will likely be junk.

It’s possible that your device may have an adware infection. It’s recommended to run a scan using anti-virus software like WiperSoft. In cases of adware, these redirects will persist until the adware is removed from your device. If there’s no adware detected, then the websites you’re visiting might be the problem. Simply install an adblocker program.
