Remove ecergerwagonal.com ads

“ecergerwagonal.com wants to show notifications” is a browser alert that you’ll see if you get redirected to ecergerwagonal.com. The site, like many similar sites, is misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to show notifications on users’ desktops. However, instead of legitimate and interesting content in these notifications, sites like ecergerwagonal.com spam ads. The site itself has no content, so there’s no reason to allow these notifications in any case. However, if you have given the site permission, do not click on the notifications because you could be exposed to potentially dangerous content, including malware and scams. Fortunately, you can easily revoke this permission in your browser’s settings.

 

 

When you get redirected to ecergerwagonal.com, you’ll see a video player start playing and suddenly stop after 13 seconds. A message will appear saying you need to click “Allow” to confirm that you’re not a robot. This refers to a browser alert that will pop up immediately saying “ecergerwagonal.com wants to show notifications”. The site implies that if you click “Allow”, the video will continue playing.

By clicking “Allow”, you will authorize the site to display ads on your desktop. A significant concern with these ads is that they can resemble genuine system notifications, which may confuse users and lead them to interact with them unknowingly. If you click on these notifications, you might be redirected to dubious websites that could promote scams or hide malware.

While the “show notifications” feature is often exploited by unreliable sites like ecergerwagonal.com, it does have legitimate uses. If a website is trustworthy, allowing notifications should not cause any issues. For example, if you allow a news site to send notifications, you will see important news stories directly on your desktop. You can easily revoke this permission at any time if you no longer wish to see notifications.

We highly recommend scanning your computer with WiperSoft because random redirects could indicate an adware infection. If adware is present, the simplest way to remove it is with an antivirus program. Additionally, if you’ve granted permission to ecergerwagonal.com to send push notifications, be sure to revoke that permission in your browser settings. Detailed instructions will be provided at the end of this report.

What triggers redirects to sites like ecergerwagonal.com?

Sometimes redirects to questionable sites like ecergerwagonal.com are caused by adware infections, but more often, they result from visiting dubious websites without an adblocker. Sites with pornographic or pirated content are particularly risky, as interacting with anything on them can trigger redirects. A good adblocker can block both these redirects and intrusive ads, offering a much more convenient browsing experience.

If adware is the issue, redirects will happen more frequently, and you’ll notice a spike in regular ads as well. Adware, browser hijackers, and similar threats are typically installed through software bundling. This method bundles these infections with popular free programs as extra offers, which are set to install automatically unless manually deselected. These offers are hidden in settings that most users don’t check, causing many to install them unknowingly. This makes software bundling a controversial method of installation.

Preventing unwanted installations is straightforward if you use the right settings when installing free programs. Default settings allow all bundled offers to install, but choosing Advanced settings reveals the offers and lets you deselect them. Legitimate programs don’t use this method, and the ones that do are usually flagged by antivirus programs as potential threats. By allowing these questionable items to install, you risk cluttering your system with all kinds of junk.

How to stop ecergerwagonal.com notifications?

We highly recommend using an anti-virus program like WiperSoft to scan your computer for any adware infections that may be causing redirects. Adware can be quite difficult to eliminate manually, so using an anti-virus tool is advisable. We also recommend using an adblocker program to block all forms of ads, including redirects.
