Stop neetoutoo.com notifications

neetoutoo.com is a deceptive website that users may get redirected to either because of adware or because they browse high-risk websites. The site is misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to ask users for permission to show notifications on the desktop. This is why you will see a browser alert saying “neetoutoo.com wants to show notifications” when you get redirected to the site. However, instead of useful notifications, you will see ads.

 

 

neetoutoo.com does not have anything on it, besides a video player that starts loading and suddenly stops. It also displays a message saying you need to install Opera GX to continue watching content. Immediately upon entering the site, you will see a browser alert saying “neetoutoo.com wants to show notifications”. Do not click “Allow” because if you do, the site will be authorized to essentially spam ads on your desktop. These ads can be disguised as system notifications to trick users into interacting with them. These notifications appear similarly to where legitimate system notifications appear.

Interacting with any notifications shown by neetoutoo.com is not recommended because you could be redirected to potentially dangerous websites, including ones promoting scams or concealing malware. However, if you have given the site permission, you can easily revoke it in your browser’s settings.

We recommend checking your computer for an adware infection with the anti-virus program WiperSoft because redirects could be a symptom of adware. You should also have a good adblocker program installed and always enabled.

What triggers redirects to sites like neetoutoo.com

In most cases, redirects to sites like neetoutoo.com are triggered by the questionable websites users visit. Certain websites (e.g. sites that have pirated or pornographic content) trigger a redirect no matter what users click on or how they interact with the site. Fortunately, a decent adblocker program should be able to deal with both redirects and regular ads.

If adware is what triggers the redirects, you should also notice other symptoms as well. It’s a pretty minor infection, though it can be very annoying because it will spam ads. Adware, browser hijackers, and similar infections usually get installed via the software bundling method. The way it works is said infections are added to popular free programs as extra offers. These offers are authorized to be installed automatically. The offers are technically optional but they need to be manually deselected to prevent their installations. However, this can be difficult because the offers are hidden in settings users don’t normally use. This is why software bundling is considered to be a controversial installation method. Many anti-virus programs detect programs that use software bundling as potential threats.

If you pay attention when installing programs, preventing unwanted installations should be easy. When installing a program, you will be asked to choose either Advanced (Custom) or Default settings. The installation window recommends using Default settings but if you do that, all added offers will be authorized to install alongside the program. What you should choose is Advanced settings because they will clearly show what offers have been added, and you will be able to deselect what you do not want. All you need to do is uncheck the boxes. We always recommend deselecting all offers, even if they initially appear useful. If you allow these installations, you will quickly fill your computer with junk programs. These junk programs can be difficult to get rid of once installed.

How to stop neetoutoo.com redirects

Scanning your computer with an anti-virus program like WiperSoft is strongly recommended to check for an adware infection. If adware is responsible for the redirects, removing it will stop the redirects. You also need to install an adblocker program to block both redirects and ads.
