What is Fitoftmobesed.info?

Fitoftmobesed.info is a push notification virus that spams your desktop with intrusive and inappropriate ads

Fitoftmobesed.infoFitoftmobesed.info is a suspicious website that tries to make users allow notifications to be shown

Fitoftmobesed.info is an unsafe domain that tries to make you click on suspicious ads to allow notifications to be pushed. Once agreed, you will see a variety of pop-ups, deals, offers, banners, and other intrusive sponsored content directly on your desktop, even if Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and all the other browsers are closed.

As evident, it is best to avoid Fitoftmobesed.info ads by not agreeing to show notifications, although there is a relatively simple solution for that, and we provide it below. However, the redirects to tech support scam, survey scam, spoofing,[1] phishing, and ad-filled sites are the signs of adware infection. It usually sneaks in during the installation of freeware/share, so it is sometimes difficult to determine which app is ad-sponsored.

However, if you landed on Fitoftmobesed.info page accidentally or got redirected from a malicious site, it does not necessarily mean adware infection. Ads might be often misleading, as some are embedded on the sites that you visit, while others might come from third-party sources.

Termination To get rid of adware, potentially unwanted programs and malware, scan your computer with FortectIntego

If you agreed to show notifications and clicked on the sponsored content and especially if you installed something, your computer might be in trouble. In such a case, Fitoftmobesed.info removal might not be enough, and a full scan with anti-malware software might be necessary.

Regardless of whether or not you ended up on Fitoftmobesed.info accidentally or not, you will be prompted with the pop-up that asks you to agree to show notifications. Additionally, the page itself will not provide any content, apart from the such-like text:

Please tap the Allow button to continue

or

Just one more step!
“Allow” to continue

This is a simple social engineering trick used by crooks behind Fitoftmobesed.info virus, as they want to make you believe that you will be presented with a page with content, such as a video. However, once clicked, you will be simply redirected to another malicious website prompting you to allow more notifications. In other cases, nothing might happen at all.

Fitoftmobesed.info virusFitoftmobesed.info is a push notification virus that is often associated with adware infection

When talking about trickery, tech support scam, or spoofing site authors actually require to put some work into it by creating content. Push notification trick allowed anyone to create an entirely empty site, but those who do click on the link earn money for the Fitoftmobesed.info developers. For that reason, push notification virus sites became so popular – it offers maximum profits for a minimum amount of effort.

The worst part is that clicks and redirects might result in something much more sinister, even if your device is not infected with adware. You might install other potentially unwanted applications that will intrude your web browsing sessions with ads, or link you to a drive-by download page that will inject a malicious code of a virus automatically.

Thus, if you notice intrusive content on your device that is linked to Fitoftmobesed.info site, you should scan your computer with anti-malware software such as FortectIntego, although other reputable tools can be used.

Be careful when you install free applications from third-party sites

Usually, the root cause of the push notification virus is not the website itself, but rather an ad-supported program that got installed with freeware or shareware. Be aware that even the well-known software-hosting sites bundle installers with potentially unwanted programs, so it is vital to stay attentive at all times. Moreover, of course, stay away from shady domains that offer you pirated software installers or its cracks.

To make sure you stay away from unwanted programs in the future, follow these recommendations from experts on zondervirus.nl:[2]

  • Pick a trustworthy source for your downloads – Microsoft store, Amazon, Chrome Web store, etc.;
  • Before installing any apps, read up on them online – user reviews often hint on whether the program is trustworthy;
  • Check if the installer provides documents like Privacy Policy or Terms of Service;
  • During the installation, decline all the deals and offers;
  • When prompted, always pick Advanced/Custom installation settings and terminate system optimizers, driver updates, download managers and similar bloatware;

Be careful when installing apps in general, as even reputable sources as Google might not be able to prevent all the malicious installers from its stores.[3]

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.
