Remove meethuhesurvey.top pop-up ads

meethuhesurvey.top is a scam website designed to deceive users into permitting desktop advertisements. If you get redirected to the site, a browser alert will appear saying “meethuhesurvey.top wants to show notifications”. This site exploits a legitimate browser feature, and thus, clicking “Allow” would grant it permission to display ads directly on your desktop. It should be mentioned that these advertisements may pose significant risks, potentially exposing users to harmful content such as malware or scams. You can easily revoke the site’s permission through your browser’s settings if you have given it by accident.

 

 

meethuhesurvey.top currently hosts a fake questionnaire and a giveaway scam. Otherwise, it doesn’t have any content on it. The site will also prompt the browser to show an alert saying “meethuhesurvey.top wants to show notifications”. By clicking “Allow”, users grant the site permission to display advertisements on their desktops, which may mimic legitimate system alerts and potentially mislead users into clicking on them. Thus, it’s recommended to avoid interacting with all notifications if meethuhesurvey.top has permission to show them, as they could redirect users to malicious websites promoting scams or distributing malware.

Although the “show notifications” feature is often exploited by sites like meethuhesurvey.top, it does have legitimate uses. Legitimate websites can use this feature to show notifications about new content, providing a convenient way to access content updates. Users may choose to allow notifications from trusted websites and can revoke this permission at any time if they no longer wish to see them on their desktops.

We recommend scanning the device using WiperSoft anti-virus software to check for adware infections that could be triggering the redirects. Additionally, installing an ad blocker can be an effective measure for blocking ads, especially for users who browse ad-heavy sites.

What triggers redirects to sites like meethuhesurvey.top

Being randomly redirected to sites like meethuhesurvey.top is usually the result of users browsing ad-heavy websites without using an adblocker. Certain sites are designed to bombard users with ads to generate revenue. Websites that have pirated or adult content are particularly notorious for doing this. Fortunately, most ad blockers can effectively block both ads and redirects.

Another common trigger of redirects is adware. Adware, browser hijackers, or similar threats are often installed through a method called software bundling. This method involves bundling these threats as additional offers with free programs. Although technically optional, the offers need to be manually deselected to stop them from installing. However, they are hidden in settings that most users do not check. The method is quite deceptive, and programs using it are often flagged as potentially harmful by antivirus programs.

To prevent unwanted programs, it is important to be cautious and attentive when installing free software. During installation, users are presented with Default and Advanced settings. While Default settings are recommended by the installation window, they automatically install all bundled offers. Choosing Advanced settings reveals all additional offers, allowing users to deselect them. It is recommended to always uncheck these offers, even if they appear useful. Legitimate programs do not use this deceptive installation method.

How to stop meethuhesurvey.top redirects

It’s recommended to scan the computer using the WiperSoft anti-virus program, as random redirects could indicate an adware infection. These infections are typically best dealt with using anti-virus software. Additionally, using an ad blocker can help prevent redirects and unwanted ads.
