Remove nopixelads.top notifications

nopixelads.top is a deceptive website that will try to trick you into allowing ads on the desktop. When you get redirected to it, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “nopixelads.top wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, the site will start spamming ads on the desktop.

 

 

The website nopixelads.top does not have anything on it besides a prompt to click on the “nopixelads.top wants to show notifications” alert to continue. Many users might find themselves redirected to this site while trying to stream copyrighted content from illegal sites, thinking that clicking “Allow” will give them access to the content they were trying to stream. In truth, clicking allow will lead to annoying desktop ads designed to mimic system notifications. This can mislead users into interacting with them. A frequent type of ad you might encounter from sites like nopixelads.top is a fake virus warning that resembles alerts from legitimate anti-virus programs. Clicking on these fake warnings can result in being redirected to sketchy websites that promote dubious software or even contain malware.

If you’ve accidentally permitted nopixelads.top to send notifications, you can easily revoke this permission in your browser’s settings, and we suggest you do this as soon as possible. Instructions for navigating your browser’s settings to remove this permission are provided at the end of this report. Since these redirects may also indicate an adware infection, it’s recommended to scan your device using the WiperSoft anti-virus program.

Why are you redirected to sites like nopixelads.top?

When browsing ad-heavy websites without an adblocker, random redirects are very common. These sites aggressively push ads to maximize their revenue, particularly sites featuring pornographic or pirated content. Fortunately, a good adblocker program can effectively handle both ads and redirects if you frequently visit ad-heavy sites.

If you find yourself being redirected more often and notice an increase in ads, especially on sites that were previously ad-free, it could be a sign of an adware infection. While adware is typically considered a minor issue, it will quickly become annoying. Adware and browser hijackers can enter your system through a method known as software bundling. This method allows unwanted programs to slip in alongside popular free software as additional offers. The way the offers are bundled with programs allows them to install alongside automatically unless users specifically deselect them. Although users can refuse these extra offers, they are hidden, making it a deceptive installation method. As a result, programs using this method are often flagged as potential threats by anti-virus software.

To avoid unwanted installations, all you need to do is pay attention when installing free programs. Users typically can choose between Default and Advanced settings when installing a program. Default settings, which are recommended by the installation window, automatically install all bundled offers without explicit user consent. Advanced settings make all offers visible and allow users to uncheck anything they don’t want to install. It’s a good idea to uncheck all offers, regardless of how useful they might seem, to keep your computer free of unwanted clutter. It’s much more difficult to remove already installed infections like adware than it is to deselect them when installing programs.
