Remove oxylersess.co.in notifications

oxylersess.co.in is a deceptive website that users may get redirected to when browsing ad-heavy sites. The site tries to trick users into allowing ads on the desktop by misusing a legitimate browser feature that authorized sites to request permission to show notifications. However, sites like oxylersess.co.in misuse the feature to show users ads. This is why you will get a browser alert saying “oxylersess.co.in wants to show notifications” when you get redirected to the site. There is no reason to click “Allow”, and if you do, the site will start spamming ads on the desktop.

 

 

The website oxylersess.co.in contains no content apart from a message saying you need to confirm you’re not a robot. Upon entering the site, you will see a browser alert stating that “oxylersess.co.in wants to show notifications”. The site is essentially requesting permission to show notifications, which appear on the desktop. This is a legitimate feature. However, sites like oxylersess.co.in misuse this feature to spam ads. These ads can be disguised as system notifications, which may trick users into clicking on them. For example, the ads may be disguised as virus alerts. Avoid clicking on these notifications as they may lead you to potentially harmful websites that promote scams or harbor malware.

While the “show notifications” feature is often misused by sites like oxylersess.co.in, it is a legitimate feature. Safe websites can also ask for permission to display notifications. For instance, if you frequently visit a specific site, you might choose to allow it to send notifications for your convenience. If you decide you no longer want to receive them, revoking permission is not difficult.

Running a scan of your computer with WiperSoft to detect any adware infections is a good idea as that may be causing unwanted redirects. Additionally, installing an adblocker can help block ads, especially when browsing ad-heavy websites.

What triggers redirects to sites like oxylersess.co.in

Redirects to websites like oxylersess.co.in are often triggered by dubious sites that users visit without an adblocker installed on their devices. Some websites intend to bombard visitors with advertisements, leading to never-ending pop-ups and redirects every time users click on something. This is particularly common with sites featuring pirated or adult content. The good news is that both ads and redirects can be easily blocked using any decent adblocker program.

If adware is responsible for the redirects, they will appear repeatedly. While adware is generally considered a minor infection, its persistent nature can be quite annoying due to the neverending ads. Adware, along with browser hijackers and similar threats, typically gets installed through a method known as software bundling. This method allows these unwanted programs to be added as extra offers to many popular free programs, which get installed automatically unless the user opts out. Unfortunately, these extra offers are hidden in settings that users don’t check very often, making this method quite deceptive. As a result, programs that use software bundling are often flagged as potential threats by anti-virus software.

If you pay close attention while installing programs, it’s not difficult to avoid these unwanted installations. During installation, you’ll usually have the option to choose between Default and Advanced settings. While Default settings are recommended by the installation window, choosing these settings will permit all additional offers to install automatically. Selecting Advanced settings will clearly display all offers, allowing you to deselect any that you don’t want. It’s strongly recommended to uncheck all offers, even if some seem useful at first. Allowing these installations will clutter your computer with junk programs.

It’s a good idea to scan your computer using the WiperSoft anti-virus program, as continuous redirects might indicate an adware infection.
