Remove logratiousity.com pop-up ads

logratiousity.com is a generic scam website designed to trick users into enabling desktop ads. It takes advantage of a legitimate browser feature that lets sites request permission to show notifications on users’ desktops. While these notifications usually display new content that sites post, sites like logratiousity.com exploit this to spam desktop ads. Clicking “Allow” on the “logratiousity.com wants to show notifications” alert gives the site permission to flood your desktop with ads, potentially also exposing you to malware or scams. However, you can easily revoke a site’s notification permissions through your browser settings. You can find instructions at the end of the report if you need help navigating your browser’s settings.

 

 

If you’re redirected to logratiousity.com, a browser alert will pop up saying “logratiousity.com wants to show notifications”. Clicking “Allow” allows the site to show ads on your desktop, which can be both annoying and potentially harmful. The site is empty besides a message asking you to click “Allow”. If you have given it permission, do not click on any notifications, as they might lead to scams or unwanted downloads. Revoke the permission immediately by following the steps provided at the end of this report.

Redirects to sites like logratiousity.com might be caused by adware, so we recommend scanning your computer with an antivirus program like WiperSoft. If no adware is found, the issue could be the websites you’re visiting. To avoid future redirects, either stay away from ad-heavy sites or use an ad blocker.

An adware infection may cause redirects

Redirects to sites like logratiousity.com usually happen for two reasons. Your computer may be infected by adware, or you’re visiting ad-heavy websites that trigger these redirects. Sites with adult or pirated content are especially prone to bombarding users with ads, no matter where they click. You can easily prevent these redirects with an ad blocker.

If you get redirected while browsing safe websites, it’s likely due to an adware infection. Adware isn’t typically harmful, as its main purpose is to flood you with ads rather than damage your system, but it can disrupt your browsing. Adware, browser hijackers, and other unwanted programs often get into systems through software bundling. These programs come packaged with free software as extra offers and install without explicit permission. While technically optional, users often miss them, allowing these programs to install. Free software from unofficial sources is especially likely to include these hidden offers.

To keep adware and similar programs off your computer, always choose Advanced or Custom settings when installing free programs. Default settings allow hidden offers to install without your consent, while Advanced settings reveal them so you can opt out. Even if an offer seems useful, it’s best to deselect it, as legitimate programs don’t use deceptive installation methods. Anti-virus software often flags these programs as potential threats.

Running a scan on your computer with anti-virus software like WiperSoft is an easy way to check for adware that might be causing the redirects. Installing an adblocker can also greatly enhance your browsing experience.
