What is Allhugeblog.com ads?

Allhugeblog.com uses fake messages to convince users to press the “Allow” button within the notification prompt

Allhugeblog.comAllhugeblog.com is a deceptive website you should not trust

Most of the websites you encounter online are useful in one way or another – be it for information or entertainment purposes. Unfortunately, there are plenty of websites created for malicious purposes, and Allhugeblog.com is one of them. The main goal is to make sure that users click the allow button within the notification prompt as soon as they access the website. To make the scam more efficient, crooks also often employ browser redirect feature, which makes users visit the website in the first place. Sometimes these redirects can also be caused by adware infection, so you should definitely check your system if you are constantly redirected to deceptive scams, phishing,[1] or similar sites.

Because users that tricked into pressing the allow button, they didn't know that by doing that, they gave Allhugeblog.com permission to show notifications directly on their screens at any time. However, this activity is usually delayed and doesn't start immediately, so most victims cannot connect these two actions.

If you are looking for ways to remove these annoying and intrusive pop-ups, you came to the right place. In this article, we will talk more about how the scam works, how to prevent being tricked in the future, and how to deny a website to show notifications to you.

Name Allhugeblog.com
Type Push notifications, ads, pop-ups
Appearence As soon as the “Allow” button is pressed within the notification prompt
Symptoms Popup notifications show on the desktop at particular time intervals. These popups show fake notices and propagate scams. Links can also lead to malware-laden sites
Dangers Clicking on links that are embedded within the notification prompt, exploring the sites these links bring to, or downloading files can be particularly dangerous – you can get infected with malware, suffer from financial losses and privacy issues
Deletion Access the settings of your browser and remove the permission for the site to deliver you notifications – more details below. Also, check your system for infections with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner security software
Further steps Cleaning web browsers is just as important when dealing with potentially unwanted programs, so do so by following the instructions below or use FortectIntego to do it quicker

Many people believe that their systems have been infected with some kind of virus after seeing so many pop-ups coming to their screens at random times. Indeed, intrusive ads could be a major sign of some malware or adware infection. However, when speaking of push notifications, they are not connected to malicious software of any kind but rather a permission that users give to a website after being tricked by fake messages.

The push notification feature in itself is not malicious and can be used by many legitimate websites. Upon entry, users are offered to receive them, and they need to either allow or block them. Indeed, such a feature can be useful when applied to websites that people are actually interested in – they can quickly receive information directly on their screens.

Cybercriminals realized it could be used to deliver ads to users, and hence they began engineering websites that are dedicated precisely for that reason, although no users would subscribe for annoying notifications that are randomly shown to them constantly. This is where social engineering[2] tricks come in.

Here is an example of a message you could encounter on Allhugeblog.com or a similar scam site:

Click Allow to verify, that you are not a robot

Website authors are trying to confuse users by using a feature similar to captcha code – this creates an illusion that it is a verification procedure that prevents DDoS attacks. In reality, there is no content to be explored; such sites have nothing more than this initial message + picture. There are many other tricks that crooks use. For example, they promise a file that could be downloaded, or that there is a video to be viewed.

Allhugeblog.com virusDo not click on links provided by Allhugeblog.com, as you might get infected by malware

Remember that no online content should be locked behind some requirements or permissions. In this situation, you should neither click “Allow” or “Block” (because you are likely to be redirected to another similar site) and instead leave the page.

If this scam tricked you, do not worry, as we explain how to remove Allhugeblog.com push notifications from your desktop in the next paragraph.

Stop Allhugeblog.com pop-ups

While you can't completely deny the possibility of malware or adware[3] infection, the first thing you should do is actually remove the notifications from your desktop. Push notifications can show up at any time above all the other programs, even if the browser is not on that particular site or if the browser is running in the background. Besides, many people are tricked into accepting notifications, so they can't connect these two activities.

In any case, removing the URL of a website from the “Allowed” list within the browser settings panel is relatively easy. We provide guidelines for the most common/popular web browsers.

Take care of adware

There are two ways you could have accessed the website (although it is never on purpose):

  • Random URL redirection.
  • Adware.

An occasional redirect is something that most users experience in their lives. A click on a fake “download” button, empty space, or an automatic rerouting could be the cause of it. Legitimate websites do not employ such tactics – they don't boobytrap links with redirects to insecure places (although there are plenty of sites in the so-called gray area).

That being said, random redirects can sometimes be very dangerous (for example, if a vulnerability is present on the software installed on the victim's system), so it is best to avoid them. The suspicious activity is mostly present on less secure websites such as X-rated, pirated program downloads, gambling, and similar sites, so try staying away from these for security reasons.

When that happens, the best thing to do is leave the page immediately by closing the web tab – it is important not to click on anything or download files. Some users are not aware of these dangers and get tricked by scams like Allhugeblog.com, “Your system is infected with (3) viruses,” or “Congratulations, you have won” messages.

When it comes to adware, it is a type of ad-supported software that specializes in displaying pop-ups, deals, offers, coupons, and other commercial content. While most of it is relatively safe, it might be a reason for users to end up on deceptive or malicious websites as well. Besides, adware is commonly spread via bundling or fake updates – this is why many people don't even know they have it installed on the device in the first place.

To remove adware easily, you can simply scan your machine with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner, Malwarebytes, or another anti-malware software. Cleaning web browsers after that is very important as well, so you should employ FortectIntego for that purpose. Alternatively, you can perform these steps manually – we provide the instructions below.

How to prevent from getting adware

Do not let government spy on you

The government has many issues in regards to tracking users' data and spying on citizens, so you should take this into consideration and learn more about shady information gathering practices. Avoid any unwanted government tracking or spying by going totally anonymous on the internet. 

You can choose a different location when you go online and access any material you want without particular content restrictions. You can easily enjoy internet connection without any risks of being hacked by using Private Internet Access VPN.

Control the information that can be accessed by government any other unwanted party and surf online without being spied on. Even if you are not involved in illegal activities or trust your selection of services, platforms, be suspicious for your own security and take precautionary measures by using the VPN service.

Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack

Computer users can suffer from data losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings. Ransomware can encrypt and hold files hostage, while unforeseen power cuts might cause a loss of important documents. If you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work. It is also equally important to update backups on a regular basis so that the newest information remains intact – you can set this process to be performed automatically.

When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware strikes out of nowhere. Use Data Recovery Pro for the data restoration process.
