Remove adscloudoffer.top pop-up ads

adscloudoffer.top is a generic scam website that tries to trick users into allowing desktop ads. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “adscloudoffer.top wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, you will authorize the site to show ads on your desktop. The site is misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites with permission to show notifications on users’ desktops. However, instead of showing interesting content in notifications, adscloudoffer.top shows ads. What’s more, those ads could expose you to potentially dangerous content, such as scams and malware.

 

 

The website in question only has an image of a loading bar and a message prompting you to click “Allow” to continue, presumably to the site. Upon entering the site, a browser alert immediately appears, saying “adscloudoffer.top wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, you will inadvertently give the site permission to bombard your desktop with ads. These advertisements appear on the right side of the screen, closely resembling legitimate notifications. Engaging with these ads could direct you to potentially harmful websites that may contain malware or scams. If you have granted permission for adscloudoffer.top to display notifications, you need to revoke it through your browser’s settings.

While many questionable sites abuse this notification feature, it is legitimate. If it’s a reputable website, you can choose to receive its notifications. For example, if you frequently visit a news outlet, you can give it authorization to stay informed about important news.

What triggers random redirects to adscloudoffer.top?

Users often find themselves redirected to sites like adscloudoffer.top when visiting potentially unsafe, ad-heavy websites. Such sites frequently bombard dubious advertisements, and clicking on anything can lead to unwanted redirects. This is particularly true for websites featuring adult or pirated content. Fortunately, using a reliable adblocker can help address this issue.

Another reason for unexpected redirects could be adware, a type of minor malware designed to spam users with advertisements. Adware is often installed through software bundling, where additional unwanted programs are packaged with free software as optional offers. If users aren’t careful to opt out, these offers are set to install automatically. They can be easily missed, as they’re hidden in specific settings, which makes software bundling a controversial installation method. Many anti-virus programs recognize programs that use this technique as potential threats.

To avoid installing junk, it’s essential to pay attention when installing free programs. During installation, you typically have the option to choose between Default or Advanced (Custom) settings. Default settings will authorize all bundled offers to be installed automatically. In contrast, selecting Advanced settings will display all offers, enabling you to uncheck any that you don’t want. We highly recommend deselecting all offers to keep your computer free from unnecessary programs that could be hard to remove later.

How to stop adscloudoffer.top notifications?

If you’re getting randomly redirected, it might be due to adware on your computer. To identify and eliminate adware, use anti-virus software like WiperSoft, which can automatically remove any detected adware with no further action needed from you. Additionally, installing an ad blocker can help reduce ads and redirects, particularly on sites that are heavy on advertisements.
