Remove mencrodae.com pop-ups
mencrodae.com is a scam site that intends to trick users into allowing desktop ads. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “mencrodae.com wants to show notifications”. Unfortunately, if you click “Allow”, the site will start spamming your desktop with ads. mencrodae.com is misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to show notifications on users’ desktops. But instead of useful notifications, the site shows ads, some of which could expose you to potentially dangerous content, including malware and various scams.
mencrodae.com is identical to thousands of others sites, all sharing a common goal: flooding your desktop with advertisements. This site exploits a legitimate browser feature that permits websites to show notifications on desktops. While many trustworthy sites, like news platforms, use this feature to keep users informed without needing them to visit, it can and often is isused by sites such as mencrodae.com.
mencrodae.com will urge you to enable notifications to continue watching the video or to proceed to access the site. A browser alert will immediately appear saying “mencrodae.com wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, you’ll start receiving ads directly on your desktop. Many of these ads may be designed to appear like real system notifications, which can lead to confusion among users due to their similar design. This can be dangerous, as some of these ads might be malicious and could prompt you to download harmful software.
As a precaution, it’s a good idea to scan your computer for adware. If such an infection is detected, only removing it will stop the redirects. Additionally, you need to install an adblocker to prevent both redirects and pop-up ads. It’s also important to revoke any permissions you may have granted to this or any other dubious sites for displaying notifications. The final section of this report will offer step-by-step instructions on how to do this.
Reasons why you are redirected to sites like mencrodae.com
Random redirects to sites like mencrodae.com might be a sign of adware on your device. Such redirects can also originate from ad-heavy websites. Websites with explicit or pirated content are especially risky, as they often have questionable advertisements. Engaging with anything on these sites may lead to unwanted redirects. To prevent this, simply install an ad blocker and make sure you have antivirus software installed on your system.
Frequent and abrupt redirects could signal adware on your computer. While adware doesn’t typically cause direct harm, its main purpose is to expose you to advertisements to generate revenue. It usually enters your system through free software bundling, where it is included as an optional offer to the program you install. These offers are optional but need to be manually deselected, which is difficult because they are hidden, making it easy for users to overlook them. To avoid inadvertently installing adware, always use Advanced (Custom) settings when installing free programs. If you notice any added offers in those settings, you can simply uncheck them to prevent installation.
Remember, legitimate programs do not use software bundling for installation, as this method is considered controversial. Programs that do, may be flagged as potential threats by various antivirus programs.
