Gloonseetaih.com ads (spam) - Free Guide

What is Gloonseetaih.com ads?

Gloonseetaih.com claims that users cannot watch a video because the browser is blocking it

Gloonseetaih.com uses deceptive methods to exploit people

Gloonseetaih.com is a bogus website that uses social engineering^[1] to trick people into subscribing to push notifications. It displays a fake message that asks users to press the “Allow” button. Unfortunately, people do not realize that this button grants permission for the website to start spamming them with annoying pop-up ads. The site does this by displaying this message:

Can't play this video!

Perhaps your browser doesn't allow video playback. Please click the Allow button to watch the video.

People are made to think that something is wrong with their browser and unless they press the “Allow” button they cannot watch a video. But if you read the text in the browser prompt you can see that it says that the page wants to show notifications. Of course, after people click the button nothing happens because there is no video to play and no other content to explore on this page.

Because the creators of this page do not care about user privacy or security they do not filter which ads can show up on people's screens. Even worse, they might use unsafe advertising networks that place ads promoting adult, gambling websites, and online scams. If you are infected with pop-up ads from this page, you may receive messages that promote fake giveaways, surveys, and fake antivirus warnings.

The developers of push notification spam pages like Gloonseetaih.com, Downloadit-on.com, Freeiphone.info, and Eukwasan.com generate revenue from pay-per-click advertising.^[2] Every time users click on an ad sent by them, they receive a cut. The problem is that people can be led to dangerous pages where they can get tricked into providing their personal information or downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs),^[3] and malware.

If you want to avoid such pages, we recommend staying away from sites that engage in illegal activities because it is rare to find them in the search results. Usually, people get redirected from other shady pages that are full of deceptive ads and sneaky redirects. Very often, these pages open when users are searching for movies or TV shows to watch online for free. Then people believe that if they just click the button, they will be able to view it.

Nowadays, there are plenty of ways you can watch movies legally and affordably. There are a lot of streaming services like Netflix, or Hulu where users have to pay a small monthly subscription fee and they can watch as much content as they want. It is not worth it to risk your security by surfing through questionable websites.

Make sure there are no PUAs hiding in your machine

Pages like this can rarely be found in the search results, most of the time people get directed to them by other shady sites they were surfing through previously. However, people can also get redirected to spam pages by adware that stays hidden in the user's machine and performs these tasks in the background. If you disabled pop-ups but still experience an increased amount of commercial content like banners, surveys or get redirected to questionable pages, that might be a symptom of an adware infection.

People install PUPs from freeware distribution sites. They include additional programs in the installers and rarely disclose it clearly on the site, so if people rush through the installation process, they do not notice those programs. There is also a possibility that the app was disguised as a “handy” program that users installed themselves.

Because of these widely used techniques, when installing software, you should choose the “Custom” or “Advanced” installation method, read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to find out what the app will be able to do on your device and what data it will collect. The most important step is to check the file list and untick the boxes next to files that seem unrelated.

It is unknown which particular app could be causing unwanted symptoms, so removing adware can be difficult if you do not have experience. We suggest using trusted professional security tools SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes to scan your machine automatically. It should detect most suspicious apps and processes running in your system and remove them successfully. Anti-malware tools can also prevent such infections by warning you about intruders trying to enter the system.

Otherwise, you can remove the program manually:

1. Enter Control Panel into Windows search box and hit Enter or click on the search result.
2. Under Programs, select Uninstall a program.
3. From the list, find the entry of the suspicious program.
4. Right-click on the application and select Uninstall.
5. If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
6. Wait till uninstallation process is complete and click OK.

1. Click on Windows Start > Control Panel located on the right pane (if you are Windows XP user, click on Add/Remove Programs).

4. At the top, click Uninstall/Change.
5. In the confirmation prompt, pick Yes.
6. Click OK once the removal process is finished.

2. In the Applications folder, look for all related entries.
3. Click on the app and drag it to Trash (or right-click and pick Move to Trash)
