Europrizes-abc.com pop-ups removal
Europrizes-abc.com is one of many questionable websites that misuse a legitimate browser feature to spam users with advertisements.

Allowing sites to show notifications is a legitimate browser feature and is used by loads of legitimate websites. When given permission, sites can show users notifications directly on the desktop, on the right corner. Depending on the site, the notifications would differ. For example, a news website would show notifications about important news stories, while a travel website may show alerts about discounts or new travel destinations. Clicking on those notifications would lead directly to the content. So this can be a useful feature in some cases. However, the problem lies with websites like Europrizes-abc.com.

What is causing the redirects to Europrizes-abc.com

A lot of websites have questionable advertisements, and clicking on anything when visiting those sites could trigger a redirect to a questionable websites like Europrizes-abc.com.

Having an adblocker installed can often prevent these unwanted redirects, or at least close the windows automatically.
But if you are redirected regularly, even when browsing seemingly safe sites, you may be dealing with adware. Adware is, fortunately, quite a minor infection and usually does not intend to harm your device directly. It can install via freeware bundling, meaning it comes attached to free software as an extra offer and can install alongside the freeware automatically. You can prevent this from happening, as long as you pay attention to how you install free programs. When given the option during installation, choose Advanced (Custom) settings instead of Default. Those settings will make all added, otherwise hidden offers visible. Furthermore, those settings will allow you to deselect every offer. All you need to do is uncheck the boxes. Once that is done, you can continue installing the program.
