Remove yttnmx.co.in pop-up ads

yttnmx.co.in is a generic scam website that intends to trick users into allowing desktop ads. It uses a legitimate browser feature to get users to agree to those ads. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “yttnmx.co.in wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, you will authorize the site to show ads directly on your desktop. The good news is that it’s not difficult to revoke a site’s permission to show notifications.

 

 

Websites that exploit the notifications feature often employ various tactics to deceive users into clicking “Allow” to enable desktop ads. For example, they might display a fake video player and claim that you need to enable notifications in order to view the video. If you click the “Allow” button on the notification from yttnmx.co.in, that website will have permission to display advertisements on your desktop. Given the dubious nature of the site, its notifications are likely to be even more problematic. These alerts could prompt you to install suspicious programs or engage with scams.

However, granting notification permissions to trustworthy websites is generally safe. If there’s a site you frequently visit and wish to receive content directly on your desktop, you can allow notifications. The notifications will show the site’s content. For instance, a travel website would show updates about new posts, travel destinations, discounts, and similar topics, while a news site would provide important news alerts. You can easily revoke this permission whenever needed; instructions will be included at the end of the report.

We suggest running an anti-virus scan with a program like WiperSoft if you’re being randomly redirected, as this might indicate an adware infection. The security program will detect and remove the infection automatically.

Adware can cause random redirects to yttnmx.co.in or similar sites

When experiencing unexpected redirects to websites like yttnmx.co.in, there are typically two main reasons behind it. The first could be that you visited a questionable website, and the redirect is a result of you clicking on something. If you recall visiting a strange site before the redirect, then that site is likely the culprit. To prevent similar redirects in the future, consider installing an adblocker program. The second possibility is that your computer might be infected with adware, which is designed to bombard users with sponsored content.

If you find yourself being redirected frequently, even on reputable sites, it’s a strong indication that adware is present on your system. This adware may have been bundled with a free program you downloaded as an extra offer, installed without your explicit consent. To avoid such unwanted installations in the future, make sure to use Advanced (Custom) settings when installing free programs. This will reveal all additional offers and give you the option to decline them. It’s advisable to deselect all offers, as they usually take up space on your computer without providing any benefits.
