What is Dating-point.top ads?

Dating-point.top shows fake messages to make users subscribe to push notifications

Dating-point.top is a misleading website you should never trust

Dating-point.top is a malicious website created by scammers. It does not have any content in it, and its main goal is to convince users to subscribe to notifications by showing misleading messages. This way, crooks can insert ads that are shown directly on users' desktops – they can show up as long as the browser is running (it doesn't matter if it is actively used or which website is visited at the time).

The contents of the Dating-point.top ads can be dangerous, as scammers use insecure ad networks in order to retain maximum profits from the activity. For example, those affected might randomly be shown a pop-up that looks like a warning from a security application – it would claim that viruses have been found and that they need to be removed with suggested software.^[1]

Due to such misleading messages, users might end up installing potentially unwanted or malicious software, disclose their personal information to cybercriminals or subscribe to useless services only to be charged automatically at certain time intervals. Please ignore these ads and follow the steps below in order to get rid of these annoying pop-ups.

How do you end up on Dating-point.top?

Malicious websites are not uncommon, although it highly depends on the initial content on the internet you engage with. For example, visiting only trustworthy, well-established websites and using reliable search engines is unlikely to expose you to malicious content online. In the meantime, accessing websites that distribute illegal software can pose much more risks overall.

Thus, one of the more common reasons for users entering malicious websites is by engaging with questionable content online. Torrent sites, for example, often host fake “Download” buttons, which, once clicked, can lead to Dating-point.top or similar fake sites.

Although more rare, constant browser redirects might also be an indication of computer infection. Adware^[2] is among the most common culprits for this behavior – it also exposes users to all kinds of advertisements when browsing the web. Thus, if you have noticed an increased activity of ads and redirects, you should check your system for infections.

The easiest way to do so is by performing a full system scan with powerful anti-malware software, such as SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes. Employing FortectIntego can also help you remediate the computer – clean browsers to remove cookies^[3] and prevent tracking, fix damaged system sectors, remove junk, etc.

If you were tricked into enabling push notifications from Dating-point.top, you can undo this action via browser settings

How do push notification scams work?

Since users usually end up on scam sites by accident, they are often caught off guard – they are more likely to make mistakes this way and not think too much about what they are shown. Crooks often abuse this and push notification scams often use misleading messages that attempt to fool visitors to press the “Allow” button within the prompt shown upon the site entry.

There are several different scam messages that can be presented to users to mislead them – these are the most common examples (note that they are all used by other scam sites, e.g., Freeadvcity.com, News-naxuyu.cc, or Infos-et-potins.com):

• Press “Allow” to verify, that you are not a robot
• Can't play this video! Perhaps your browser doesn't allow video playback. Please click the Allow button to watch the video
• Click “Allow” to start downloading
• If you are 18+, click Allow
• Please tap Allow to continue, etc.

Scammers attempt to mislead users by presenting the prompt as permission for something else so it would make sense in a way. Please do not give in to these lies, as these messages are fake; clicking the “Allow” button would only result in one outcome – you would permit that particular website to send you ads without restrictions.
