Remove dipinigly.com pop-up ads

dipinigly.com is a fraudulent website designed to deceive users into enabling desktop notifications. It exploits a legitimate browser feature, prompting a browser alert saying “dipinigly.com wants to show notifications” to appear when users are redirected to the site. Because it’s a legitimate feature, by clicking “Allow”, users grant the site permission to display notifications on their desktop. But unlike reputable websites that use this feature to share newly posted content, sites like dipinigly.com primarily display advertisements. Moreover, these ads can potentially expose users to harmful content, including scams and malware. Therefore, it is essential to revoke the site’s permissions as soon as possible if it has been granted. You can find instructions at the end of the report.

 

 

The “show notifications” feature is often exploited by scam websites like dipinigly.com to bombard users with ads. Upon being redirected to dipinigly.com, a pop-up will appear asking for permission to display notifications. The site may attempt to deceive you into granting this permission by pretending it is necessary to access its content. For instance, it might display a video player that pauses abruptly and claims that enabling notifications is required to continue viewing. Or it may claim that you need to click “Allow” to confirm you are not a robot.

If you allow notifications from dipinigly.com, your desktop will start displaying unwanted ads. Do not engage with these notifications, as they may pose security risks. The advertisements might resemble legitimate system notifications, causing confusion, and could even trick you into downloading potentially malicious software or malware. There is no valid reason to permit notifications from a site like dipinigly.com, unless you want to see ads on your desktop. If you have already granted the site permission, revoke it via your browser’s settings. Detailed instructions to help you will be provided later in this report.

We strongly recommend using WiperSoft anti-malware software to scan your computer to check for a potential adware infection. Additionally, you need to install an ad blocker, particularly if you frequently visit high-risk or ad-heavy websites.

Adware can trigger redirects to questionable websites

The frequency and timing of redirects can indicate whether your computer has adware or if you are simply visiting websites with heavy advertisements. If these redirects happen primarily on specific websites, especially those hosting adult or pirated content, those sites are likely responsible. Installing an ad blocker program can effectively block such ads and redirects.

If redirects persist across all websites you visit, your computer may be infected with adware. Although adware can be highly intrusive, it is typically not very harmful to your system. Adware and browser hijackers often use software bundling to be installed on a device without explicit consent. These programs are commonly bundled with free software as optional offers that are preselected for installation alongside the main program.

Many users remain unaware of these additional offers because they are concealed within settings that are seldom used. To prevent these installations, always opt for Advanced (Custom) settings when installing free programs. A common mistake is using Default settings, which conceal these extra offers and enable their automatic installation. By selecting Advanced settings, you can check all optional offers and deselect those you do not wish to install. It is recommended to decline all such offers.
