What is Hereforthejob.top ads?

Hereforthejob.top is a malicious website that tries to scam users

Hereforthejob.topScam websites can be encountered anywhere

When trying to access a particular website, users rely on entering the address within the URL bar (otherwise known as omnibar) or using bookmarks for the purpose. This guarantees that the destination website is correct. The situation changes completely when it comes to links and redirects[1] on various websites, as users might end up somewhere they did not expect in the first place.

Hereforthejob.top is one of such websites – users never visit it intentionally but instead are redirected to it from somewhere else. The page consists of two elements:

  • A notification prompt that asks to allow notifications to be shown
  • A background picture, usually with a message which encourages users to click the “Allow” button in a deceptive way.

Crooks behind the scam use various tricks in order to make users subscribe to notifications – something that some are not really familiar with. As a result, they don't even realize that they allowed Hereforthejob.top ads into their computers. After this, the intrusive behavior does not usually start immediately, so people don't even know where the pop-ups are coming from. At some point later, the notifications would be shown on top of all apps and include various information, including links. If you are dealing with this problem, we are here to help you, as stopping these pop-ups is a relatively easy task.

Name Hereforthejob.top
Type Push notifications, scam, ads
Distribution Notifications begin to show up soon after the “Allow” button within site is pressed
Symptoms Pop-ups show up at the bottom-left corner of the screen at any time
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 might get infected with malware, suffer from financial losses or privacy issues
Elimination Blocking push notifications is relatively easy – you have to enter web browser settings for that. Also, if adware infection is suspected, the easiest way to get rid of it is to scan your device with 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 for a quicker solution

How scams work

When constantly getting bombarded with pop-ups, many users might believe that their computer has been infected. While this might sometimes be true, it is usually not the case, as push notifications are not inherently malicious. They are, in some cases, used as a tool by scammers to deliver all types of information to users, including links to potentially dangerous websites.

By doing this, malicious actors expose people to various ads as well, which benefits them financially. This is why they are so interested in scamming as many users as possible, as this guarantees more profits from advertisements. While some of the ads might be relatively harmless, it is not uncommon to be exposed to various scams or even malware.

In order to start this intrusive activity, crooks need to convince people that what they are clicking on is not what it actually is, and for that, they use various tricks. In other words, users would not subscribe to these notifications if they were fully aware of what they were doing.

Here is an example of what you might expect after accessing Hereforthejob.top:

Press “Allow” to verify, that you are not a robot

Scammers try to mislead users and make them believe that the Allow button is actually a verification technique similar to captcha – it is commonly used as a protection against DDoS[2] attacks. In other instances, you might expect to see a GIF of a seemingly loading video or be informed that a file is ready for download.

Hereforthejob.top virusWhile some might believed that they have been infected wit ha virus, push notifications are something different

All of these are fake messages, and you should simply ignore such a page and close the tab of your browser instead. If you interact with the notification prompt in any way, you are likely to be redirected to another malicious site.

Many websites of a similar nature, e.g., Special-for.me, Activitytonic.com, or Techsys.site, use exactly the same messages, pictures, and techniques. In fact, many of these don't even bother to create new elements but instead use the same ones. This is why, once you see a few of such websites, you will instantaneously know about them all.

Check your system for adware

Before you proceed with the removal instructions of the annoying notifications, there is something you should check first. While it is likely that you ended up on a malicious website by accident and then subscribed to the notifications, there is a chance that you were redirected by a potentially unwanted program or malware installed on your computer.

To be precise, you should look for adware – it is the ad-supported software that specializes in showing pop-ups, deals, offers, banners, and other commercial content to users. It also tracks users to monetize on targeted advertising,[3] which usually means that the collected data is shared with unknown third parties. Besides, it is also spread via software bundles or deceptive ads, so you might not even know that you have it installed.

You can remove adware by uninstalling an extension or a program like you usually do, although this might not always be possible since you might not know which app is causing the unwanted behavior. There

If you are sure which app is adware related, follow these steps:

Windows

  • Enter Control Panel into Windows search box and hit Enter or click on the search result.
  • Under Programs, select Uninstall a program.Uninstall from Windows 1
  • From the list, find the entry of the suspicious program.

  • If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
  • Wait till the uninstallation process is complete and click OK.Uninstall from Windows 2

  1. From the menu bar, select Go > Applications.
  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)Uninstall from Mac 1

To fully remove an unwanted app, you need to access Application Support, LaunchAgents, and LaunchDaemons folders and delete relevant files:

  1. Select Go > Go to Folder.
  2. Enter /Library/Application Support and click Go or press Enter.
  3. In the Application Support folder, look for any dubious entries and then delete them.
  4. Now enter /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons folders the same way and terminate all the related .plist files.Uninstall from Mac 2

To remove an extension, you need to access the settings of your browser – you can find more details below.

How to prevent from getting adware

Choose a proper web browser and improve your safety with a VPN tool

Online spying has got momentum in recent years and people are getting more and more interested in how to protect their privacy online. One of the basic means to add a layer of security – choose the most private and secure web browser. Although web browsers can't grant full privacy protection and security, some of them are much better at sandboxing, HTTPS upgrading, active content blocking, tracking blocking, phishing protection, and similar privacy-oriented features. However, if you want true anonymity, we suggest you employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN – it can encrypt all the traffic that comes and goes out of your computer, preventing tracking completely.

 

Lost your files? Use data recovery software

While some files located on any computer are replaceable or useless, others can be extremely valuable. Family photos, work documents, school projects – these are types of files that we don't want to lose. Unfortunately, there are many ways how unexpected data loss can occur: power cuts, Blue Screen of Death errors, hardware failures, crypto-malware attack, or even accidental deletion.

To ensure that all the files remain intact, you should prepare regular data backups. You can choose cloud-based or physical copies you could restore from later in case of a disaster. If your backups were lost as well or you never bothered to prepare any, Data Recovery Pro can be your only hope to retrieve your invaluable files.
