How to remove apps force-opening video-notification.digital website?

What is the video-notification[.]digital site?

Sharing common traits with ngthatwe.fun, ndmeeting.fun, dollarsurvey365.online, and thousands of others, video-notification[.]digital is a rogue website. It is designed to redirect visitors to other untrustworthy/malicious pages and/or present them with questionable material.

Users rarely access such sites intentionally. Most get redirected to rogue webpages by intrusive ads or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

These apps do not require express user consent to infiltrate devices. PUAs operate by causing redirects, delivering intrusive advertisement campaigns, and gathering browsing-related information.

The first thing video-notification[.]digital does is check the visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address in order to learn their geolocation. This data determines the site's further course of action.

In other words, whether visitors get redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with dubious content - depends on their geolocations. Additionally, most rogue websites use deceptive techniques like clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, or otherwise attempt to trick users into enabling their browser notifications.

Should the video-notification[.]digital page's notifications be allowed - the site will begin running intrusive advert campaigns. The delivered ads are more than just a nuisance, they are considered to be a threat to device/user safety as well.

Once clicked on, intrusive advertisements redirect to unreliable/malicious websites, and some can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs). PUAs can have heinous functionalities, which can be in different combinations.

For example, these applications can force-open dangerous sites and/or run intrusive advertisement campaigns. PUAs usually have data tracking abilities.

They monitor browsing activity (visited URLs, viewed pages, searched queries, etc.) and gather vulnerable data (IP addresses, geolocations, and even personally identifiable details). PUA developers monetize the collected information by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

In summary, the presence of unwanted apps on devices - can result in system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft. To ensure device and user safety, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed immediately upon detection.

PUAs typically appear legitimate and innocuous. They also offer a broad range of features. However, despite how "useful" the functionalities may sound - they are rarely operational.

The sole purpose of unwanted software is to generate revenue for the developers; hence, functionality and user privacy are irrelevant. Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed via download/installation setups of other programs. This deceptive marketing technique of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is called "bundling".

Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system. Intrusive advertisements are also used to proliferate PUAs.

Upon being clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user permission. PUAs may also have "official" promotional/download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, only official and verified download channels must be used.

Since untrustworthy sources, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting sites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - commonly offer harmful and/or bundled content. When downloading/installing, it is important to read terms, study possible options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt-out from additional apps, tools, features, etc.

Intrusive adverts appear legitimate; however, they redirect to various unreliable and questionable websites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and so forth). In case of encounters with ads and/or redirects of this kind, the system must be inspected and all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed from it.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
