How to remove content-hub.biz ads?

What kind of page is content-hub[.]biz?

The purpose of content-hub[.]biz is to get permission to show notification and redirect visitors to various (most likely untrustworthy) websites. Content-hub[.]biz and other pages of this type get opened through shady ads or websites or installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

Content-hub[.]biz website in detail

Content-hub[.]biz displays content (text) encouraging visitors to click the "Allow" button to download a file. It uses a clickbait technique to lure visitors into granting it permission to display notifications. Those notifications can be used to promote scams, potentially malicious pages, phishing pages, and so on.

Additionally, content-hub[.]biz can redirect visitors to untrustworthy pages (for example, ro4[.]biz). Those pages could be used to promote/distribute dubious software, extract personal information (and for other purposes) too.

Pages of this type in general

Content-hub[.]biz is more or less similar to yoursurveyprogram[.]com, alertsx[.]com, vianidorinotor[.]com, and lots of other sites. These pages can show untrustworthy notifications (if allowed) and redirect visitors to shady pages. One of the ways to promote such pages is to trick users into installing PUAs.

How did adware install on my computer?

Most PUAs get downloaded and installed through downloaders and installers for other programs, untrustworthy advertisements, fake installers. Those downloaders and installers have "Custom", "Advanced", and other similar settings. PUAs get downloaded or installed when users do not change those settings.

Advertisements can download or install unwanted apps only when they are designed to execute certain scripts and users click on them. Fake installers get downloaded from shady pages using deceptive techniques to promote them.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Examine downloaders and installers that have "Custom", "Advanced", or similar settings. Make sure to deselect optional downloads or installations before downloading or installing programs bundled with PUAs. Download apps only from official websites, stores. Do not click on ads showing up on dubious pages.

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

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
