What is Dating-point.top ads?

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

Dating-point.topDating-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.

Name Dating-point.top
Type Push notifications, ads, pop-ups, scam
Distribution After users click the “Allow” button within a push notification prompt of the site
Symptoms Notifications show up at the bottom-right corner of the screen – these include fraudulent content and links to potentially dangerous websites
Risks Monetary losses, installation of potentially unwanted programs/malware, personal data leak
Removal Intrusive push notifications can be stopped by blocking the web address of the malicious website via browser settings. Checking the device with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner security software is also recommended
Other tips Potentially unwanted programs often leave traces within web browsers – cookies, for example, are used for tracking. You should get rid of these leftovers with FortectIntego or employ our manual guide

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.

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.

How to prevent from getting adware

Stream videos without limitations, no matter where you are

There are multiple parties that could find out almost anything about you by checking your online activity. While this is highly unlikely, advertisers and tech companies are constantly tracking you online. The first step to privacy should be a secure browser that focuses on tracker reduction to a minimum.

Even if you employ a secure browser, you will not be able to access websites that are restricted due to local government laws or other reasons. In other words, you may not be able to stream Disney+ or US-based Netflix in some countries. To bypass these restrictions, you can employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN, which provides dedicated servers for torrenting and streaming, not slowing you down in the process.

Data backups are important – recover your lost files

Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to personal data. Once it is executed on a machine, it launches a sophisticated encryption algorithm that locks all your files, although it does not destroy them. The most common misconception is that anti-malware software can return files to their previous states. This is not true, however, and data remains locked after the malicious payload is deleted.

While regular data backups are the only secure method to recover your files after a ransomware attack, tools such as Data Recovery Pro can also be effective and restore at least some of your lost data.
