Remove speedupdevice.co.in pop-up ads

speedupdevice.co.in is a generic scam website that tries to trick users into allowing desktop ads. If you get redirected to this site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “speedupdevice.co.in wants to show notifications”, and if you click “Allow”, the site will be authorized to spam ads on your desktop. The site is misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites with permission to show notifications on users’ desktops. However, instead of showing useful content, sites like speedupdevice.co.in show ads. It’s also worth mentioning that some of those ads could expose you to potentially dangerous content.

 

 

If this feature is enabled on your browser, you’ve likely encountered sites that ask to show notifications on your desktop. This is a legitimate feature but unfortunately, sites like speedupdevice.co.in often misuse it for spamming ads. The site itself does not have anything on it besides a prompt asking you to allow notifications. Upon accessing the site, a browser alert will appear saying “speedupdevice.co.in wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, you will start seeing ads on your desktop, on the right side of the screen. These ads appear in a similar place as genuine system notifications, which can easily lead to confusion, especially since some of them are designed to mimic legitimate notifications. This can result in serious issues, including malware infections. If the site has been granted permission, revoke it sooner rather than later.

It’s strongly recommended to run a scan on your computer using an anti-virus program like WiperSoft to check for any adware infections. If adware is found, removing it should stop the redirects. If no adware is detected, the sites you visit are likely what triggers the ads. In that case, any decent adblocker program would be of great assistance as it would block both ads and redirects.

What triggers redirects to sites like speedupdevice.co.in

We recommend you try to determine why you’re being redirected to sites like speedupdevice.co.in. If the redirects are due to visiting high-risk, ad-heavy websites, installing an adblocker would solve the issue.

Random redirects may also indicate an adware infection. Adware is generally considered a mild threat that usually gets installed via the software bundling method, which means it gets installed alongside free programs without your explicit consent. The way it works is infections like adware, browser hijackers, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) are added to free programs as extra offers. These offers are set to install alongside automatically, though they are optional.

Many users inadvertently allow adware to install because the bundled offers are not clearly shown during installation. To make them visible, you need to use Advanced (Custom) settings when installing free programs. Default settings hide any additional offers, while Advanced settings will reveal them and give you the option to uncheck them. It’s recommended to deselect any extra offer that comes with free programs since software bundling is a deceptive installation method. Allowing such programs to be installed will clutter your computer with unnecessary junk. Removing these infections once fully installed can be troublesome so it’s best to deselect them when installing programs.
