Remove jpadsnetwork.com pop-up notifications

jpadsnetwork.com is a deceptive website that tries to trick users into allowing desktop ads. This site is identical to thousands of other sites that all do the same thing, which is misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites with permission to show notifications on users’ desktops. Unfortunately, instead of showing users useful content, sites like jpadsnetwork.com show ads. These ads will not only be very annoying, but they could also expose you to potentially dangerous ads, including scams and malware. If you have given the site permission to show notifications, you can easily revoke it via your browser’s settings. If you need assistance, instructions are provided at the end of the report.

 

 

jpadsnetwork.com has no content on it besides a message saying you need to click “Allow” to prove you’re not a robot. A browser alert will immediately appear saying “jpadsnetwork.com wants to show notifications”, and it’s implied that if you agree to these notifications, you’ll continue to the site. However, by clicking “Allow”, you will grant permission for the site to show ads on your desktop. A major concern with these ads is that they may mimic legitimate system notifications, potentially causing confusion for you and leading you to interact with them. If you engage with these notifications, you could be directed to questionable websites that may promote scams or contain malware. While the “show notifications” feature is often misused by unreliable sites like jpadsnetwork.com, it can have legitimate uses. However, not all sites should have this permission, and jpadsnetwork.com is certainly not one of them.

To ensure your computer’s security, we recommend scanning it with WiperSoft, as random redirects may indicate an adware infection. If adware is present, the easiest method to eliminate it is through an antivirus program. Installing an adblocker program is also a good idea. Furthermore, if you’ve enabled notifications from jpadsnetwork.com, make sure to revoke that permission in your browser settings.

What triggers redirects to sites like jpadsnetwork.com

Redirects to questionable sites like jpadsnetwork.com can sometimes result from adware infections, but more commonly, they occur when browsing dubious websites without the protection of an adblocker. Certain sites tend to bombard users with highly questionable ads in order to generate revenue. Websites that host pornographic or pirated content are notorious for doing this. However, installing any decent adblocker can effectively block both redirects and intrusive ads.

Redirects may also be triggered by adware. Adware, browser hijackers, and similar threats are typically installed through a method known as software bundling. This method allows said infections to be bundled with popular free programs as additional offers, which are preselected to install automatically unless manually deselected by the user. However, these offers are concealed in settings that most users do not check, leading users to unintentionally allow the offers to install. This has made software bundling a controversial method of installation.

Preventing unwanted installations is easy as long as you choose the correct settings when installing free programs. Default settings permit all bundled offers to install, whereas selecting Advanced settings makes these offers visible and allows users to deselect them. Reputable programs do not use this method, and those that do are often flagged as potential threats by antivirus software. Allowing such questionable items to install will clutter your device with unnecessary and potentially harmful junk.

How to stop jpadsnetwork.com notifications

Use WiperSoft to scan your computer for potential adware infections that may be causing unwanted redirects. Adware can often be challenging to remove manually, so using an anti-virus program is much easier. Additionally, you need to install an adblocker.
