Remove vipdragonapp.monster notifications

vipdragonapp.monster is a deceptive website that poses as a download site. It tries to trick users into allowing ads on the desktop by misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to request permission to show notifications. This is why you will get a browser alert saying “vipdragonapp.monster wants to show notifications” when you get redirected to the site. However, instead of showing something useful, vipdragonapp.monster shows ads. What’s more, the ads could expose you to dangerous content, including malware and scams. If you have given the site permission, you need to revoke that permission right away.

 

 

vipdragonapp.monster is made to look like a download site but that is misleading. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “vipdragonapp.monster wants to show notifications”. While the feature is legitimate, do not click “Allow,” as this would enable the site to show ads directly on your desktop. The most problematic thing about vipdragonapp.monster ads is the fact that they may be disguised as system notifications, which can mislead users into interacting with them. Interacting with any notifications from this site is risky, as it may lead you to harmful websites that promote scams or potentially conceal malware. If you’ve inadvertently allowed notifications, you can easily revoke this permission in your browser’s settings. We will also provide instructions at the end of the report.

We recommend you check your computer for an adware infection. For that, it’s advisable to run a scan using a good anti-virus program like WiperSoft. Additionally, install an adblocker to prevent ads and unwanted redirects, especially if you frequent ad-heavy sites.

What triggers redirects to sites like vipdragonapp.monster

Redirects to websites such as vipdragonapp.monster often happen when users visit ad-heavy sites, such as sites with pornographic or pirated content. When browsing those sites, clicking on anything on those sites will trigger a redirect. Fortunately, both ads and random redirects can be easily blocked with any decent adblocker program.

Another possible cause for these redirects could be adware. A lot of users remain unaware of adware infections on their devices, as they are typically installed through deceptive methods. Adware and browser hijackers often come bundled with popular free software in what’s known as the software bundling method. While these unwanted programs are added as optional offers, they are usually set to install automatically unless users manually deselect them. Unfortunately, these offers are often hidden in settings that most users don’t check, which is why software bundling tends to be seen as a controversial installation method. Programs that use this method to install are generally flagged as potential threats by anti-virus software.

To prevent the installation of unwanted programs, you just need to select the correct settings when downloading free software. During installation, you will typically have the choice between Advanced (Custom) and Default installation settings. While the installer may prompt you to choose Default settings, these settings will install all offers automatically. Opting for Advanced settings will show you all extra offers clearly. These settings will also allow you to uncheck any offer you do not wish to install. It’s a good idea to decline all such offers, even if they seem useful at first glance.
