Remove rwrdznga.com notifications

rwrdznga.com is a deceptive website that not only displays a gift card scam but also tries to trick users into allowing desktop ads. When you get redirected to the site, you will see a scam claiming you can win a $1000 Walmart gift card, and all you need to do is answer a few questions. The purpose of this scam is to steal users’ personal information. The site will also prompt your browser to show an alert saying “rwrdznga.com wants to show notifications”. If you allow these notifications, the site will start spamming ads on the desktop, some of which could be dangerous as they could promote scams or conceal malware.

 

 

rwrdznga.com is currently displaying a gift card scam. Users are informed that they can get a $1000 Walmart gift card if they participate in a questionnaire. The questions are very basic, and no matter what you answer, you’ll be informed that you won the gift card. To get it, you will be asked to provide your personal information, including your full name, email address, phone number, and home address.

The site will also prompt your browser to show an alert saying “rwrdznga.com wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, you will start seeing ads on your desktop. These notifications/ads will persistently appear on the right side of the screen and may even look similar to legitimate system notifications. Some of these ads could be harmful, potentially leading to sites that host malware or promote scams. If you have granted permission to this site, do not interact with the notifications and revoke the permission as soon as possible.

To address any potential issues, we recommend scanning your computer with WiperSoft, as adware may be responsible for these unwanted redirects. If adware is suspected, the easiest way to remove it is by using an anti-virus program. If you’ve allowed the site to send you push notifications, you can easily revoke this permission through your browser’s settings. Detailed instructions can be found at the end of the report.

What triggers redirects to sites like rwrdznga.com

When visiting high-risk websites without an adblocker, users may often find themselves redirected to sites like rwrdznga.com. Many of these websites aim to generate revenue by bombarding users with as many ads as possible. Sites that have adult or pirated content are especially notorious for such practices. A good adblocker program can effectively prevent these redirects and unwanted ads.

If you experience frequent redirects, especially when browsing previously ad-free sites, it could indicate an adware infection, which usually comes with a noticeable increase in regular ads too. While adware is not considered a serious threat, it can be quite annoying. Adware, browser hijackers, and similar issues often come bundled with popular free programs through a method known as software bundling. This means they can be installed without explicit user consent. Although these added programs are optional, users must manually uncheck them to block their installations. Unfortunately, these options are often hidden, making it difficult to deselect them.

To avoid unwanted installations, be sure to select the correct settings during software installation. Default settings allow all additional offers by default. Instead, opt for Advanced settings, which will show you all the extra offers, giving you the option to uncheck any you don’t want. Installing these added offers can lead to your computer being filed with junk programs. This makes software bundling a questionable method and many anti-virus programs flag programs that use it as potential threats.

How to stop rwrdznga.com notifications?

To check for any adware infections, scan your computer using WiperSoft. If adware is causing your redirects, the easiest solution is to use an anti-virus program to remove it. Once the adware is gone, the redirects should stop. Additionally, installing an adblocker program can help prevent unwanted redirects and intrusive ads, particularly when you browse ad-heavy sites.
