Remove mergechainsolutions.co.in notifications

mergechainsolutions.co.in is a scam website that tries to trick users into allowing ads on the desktop. To do that, it misuses a legitimate browser feature, which is why you will see a browser alert saying “mergechainsolutions.co.in wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, ads will start appearing on your desktop. It’s worth mentioning that these ads may expose you to very questionable content, including scams and potential malware. Thus, if you have given the site permission, you need to revoke it right away. That is not difficult to do in your browser’s settings but we will provide instructions at the end of this report.

 

 

mergechainsolutions.co.in doesn’t really have anything on it as you will quickly realize when you get redirected to the site. The only thing the site displays is a message saying you need to click “Allow” to confirm that you’re not a robot. This message is referring to the browser alert saying “mergechainsolutions.co.in wants to show notifications”. By granting this permission, you will effectively allow the site to display advertisements on your desktop. While some legitimate websites may offer helpful notifications such as news alerts, sites like mergechainsolutions.co.in primarily spam users with unwanted and potentially dangerous ads.

These advertisements will not only be annoying but also potentially dangerous. They might imitate legitimate system alerts to trick users into engaging with harmful or scam-related content. For example, you might encounter fake virus alerts pushing you to download dubious anti-malware software.

If you experience a couple of redirects, you probably just need an adblocker program. However, frequent redirects may suggest adware on your computer. We recommend running a scan with WiperSoft anti-virus software to check. If you have accidentally allowed mergechainsolutions.co.in to show notifications, make sure to revoke this permission right away. Instructions for doing so can be found at the end of this report.

What triggers redirects to sites like mergechainsolutions.co.in?

There are several reasons you might find yourself redirected to websites like mergechainsolutions.co.in. One possibility is that your device could have adware, which often causes frequent redirects. More commonly, these redirects happen when users visit ad-heavy sites, especially those featuring adult or pirated content. On such sites, any click can trigger a redirect. However, using a good adblocker program can help effectively block these frustrating redirects and ads.

If adware is the culprit behind the redirects, you may notice them occurring regularly. Many people unintentionally install adware through a method called software bundling. This method involves bundling adware with popular free programs as additional offers. These offers can install automatically without your explicit consent but they are technically optional. However, they are hidden in certain settings, making it difficult for users to notice and deselect them. This has led software bundling to earn a reputation as a controversial installation method.

To avoid clutter on your device, you need to prevent these unwanted installations. Installation windows usually recommend using Default settings, but these settings will allow all bundled offers to install without your approval. Instead, opt for Advanced (Custom) settings, which give you the option to review and uncheck any unwanted additional offers. Generally, legitimate programs do not use software bundling, so it’s a good idea to decline all offers, regardless of how appealing they may appear at first. It’s also worth noting that programs that rely on software bundling are often flagged as potential threats by anti-virus software.
