Remove Rlongletterit.biz redirects

Rlongletterit.biz is a highly questionable website that tries to trick users into subscribing to advertisements. It does that by displaying a legitimate browser notification that says “Rlongletterit.biz wants to show notifications” and pressuring users into pressing “Allow”. By pressing “Allow”, users are essentially agreeing to see advertisements on their desktop.

 

Sites like Rlongletterit.biz are essentially misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows websites to show users notifications on the desktop. If you grant a legitimate site permission to show notifications, you will see legitimate notifications. For example, granting a news site this permission means you will get alerts about important news stories on your desktop. This would allow users to be up to date with the news without having to visit news sites constantly. However, if you allow a site like Rlongletterit.biz to show notifications, you will see ads on your desktop.

When you get redirected to Rlongletterit.biz, the site will display numerous messages saying you need to press “Allow”. A browser alert will say that Rlongletterit.biz wants to show notifications. There’s no reason why users would agree to see notifications sent by a random site but some may press “Allow” by mistake. Whatever the reason, revoking that permission immediately is recommended. The site itself is highly questionable, so its ads are probably worse. Some of them may be advertising potentially dangerous software, and you may be tricked into downloading it. Even if the ads were harmless, we highly doubt anyone wants to see ads on their desktop.

If you have permitted the site to show notifications, you can easily revoke this permission, and we will provide instructions below this report to help you. You should also scan your computer with anti-virus software, in case adware is why you’re being redirected to Rlongletterit.biz. If it is adware, you will need to get rid of it to remove Rlongletterit.biz redirects for good.

What is causing redirects to Rlongletterit.biz and similar websites

To solve this issue, you need to determine why you’re getting redirected in the first place. Two possible reasons are adware or questionable websites. If you visit high-risk sites, it’s not uncommon to be redirected to dubious sites like Rlongletterit.biz when clicking on anything. Having adblocker installed would be quite handy in this case, as it would prevent the redirects, or at least close the windows when they appear. Be particularly careful about engaging with ads when visiting sites that have pornography or pirated content, as they often have dangerous advertisements.

If you are redirected multiple times, even when browsing safe sites, it’s likely adware that’s the issue. Adware’s presence is usually quite obvious if you are familiar with the signs. The infection can install via freeware bundles, which essentially means that it can come attached to a free program as an extra offer. Whatever comes added to the program is permitted to install alongside automatically, unless you manually prevent this. To correctly install a free program and avoid unwanted installations, make sure to choose Advanced (Custom) settings during setup. Those settings, unlike Default, will make all offers visible, and you will have the option to deselect everything. Once you have unchecked the boxes, you can continue installing the freeware.

Rlongletterit.biz removal

Depending on what’s causing the redirects, the solution is different. If your computer has adware installed, you will need to get rid of it to remove Rlongletterit.biz redirects permanently. The easiest way to do that is by using anti-virus software like WiperSoft. Even if you don’t think adware is installed, we still recommend doing a scan just in case.

If your computer is not infected by adware and you’re merely redirected by the sites you visit, simply install adblocker or avoid browsing those sites altogether. If permission to show notifications has been granted to Rlongletterit.biz, you need to revoke that permission. It’s not difficult to do but if you need instructions, you can find them right below.
