Remove hotbhavini.today pop-up notifications

hotbhavini.today is a scam website designed to trick users into enabling desktop ads. As soon as you get redirected to the site, a pop-up appears saying “hotbhavini.today wants to show notifications”. While this is a legitimate feature, giving hotbhavini.today permission will result in ads on your desktop. Unlike legitimate websites that use the feature to show interesting notifications, hotbhavini.today pushes ads, which may expose you to scams or harmful malware. The site itself is empty, but it pretends to offer content to deceive users into thinking that allowing notifications will give them access to content.

 

 

hotbhavini.today is identical to thousands of other sites that all exist to do the same thing, which is to trick users into agreeing to desktop ads. They all exploit the same feature. While the feature is completely legitimate, not all websites should be granted permission to display it to avoid ads on the desktop. hotbhavini.today is a highly questionable site, so its notification ads will be problematic. It should be mentioned that these notifications appear on the right side of the desktop and may resemble authentic system alerts. This is done to deceive users into clicking on them. If you have allowed this site to send notifications, do not interact with them and revoke the site’s permissions immediately.

Enabling notifications from reliable websites can be useful. For sites you visit frequently and wish to stay updated on their content, allowing notifications can be quite useful. If you decide you no longer want notifications, the permission can be easily revoked. Detailed instructions can be found at the end of this report.

Being redirected to websites like hotbhavini.today generally indicates that you’re either visiting ad-heavy websites without an ad blocker tool or your computer is infected with adware. Doing a scan with an antivirus program like WiperSoft can often help determine whether adware is the issue. But whether adware is found or not, you should also install an adblocker program.

How to avoid installing adware

Redirects to hotbhavini.today and similar sites usually indicate one of two potential issues. Either your computer has adware installed, or you are visiting ad-heavy sites. Although adware can be irritating, it is generally harmless and does not pose a significant threat. Its primary purpose is to spam users with advertisements, and it is often installed unknowingly through a method known as software bundling. The way it works is that adware and similar infections are added to free programs as additional offers. Many users are unaware of these bundled offers or how to avoid them. To prevent these offers from installing, users need to use Advanced (or Custom) settings when installing free programs, as this will allow them to view and decline all extra offers.

If redirects happen only on specific websites, the websites themselves are likely the source of the issue. Websites with certain types of content, such as adult material, are often considered high-risk due to the volume of ads and redirects they can expose users to. Installing an ad blocker is an effective way to prevent these redirections and block intrusive advertisements altogether.
