What is Jioer.pro?

Jioer.pro is a push notification virus that shows unwanted ads in particular time intervals

Jioer.pro is a deceptive site that relies on social engineering to trick users into subscribing to push notificaitons

Jioer.pro is a deceptive website that users encounter on their Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or another web browser after clicking on a malicious link or after being redirected from another malicious site. Upon entry, visitors are presented with a request to press the “Allow” button to allegedly confirm that they are not a robot or to enable the underlying content of the site.

However, as soon as users oblige, they are not presented with anything. Instead, they later notice intrusive Jioer.pro notifications on their desktops, regardless if the web browser is on. These ads can show up at random times and are typically filled with a scam, phishing, and other deceptive messages. Clicking on these links can result in monetary losses, malware infection, or privacy issues.

Jioer.pro is yet another deceptive website that uses social engineering^[1] to make users infect their desktops with annoying and potentially dangerous notifications. Initially, the push notification is completely legitimate and used by many websites to deliver users the most relevant information. However, cybercriminals are willing to exploit gullible users for personal gains. To make matters worse, Jioer.pro removal becomes a real headache for those who never encountered it before.

Unpin entering the site, users will be presented with the following message:

Press Allow to confirm
I'm not a robot

Press Allow to verify, that you are not a robot

Jioer.pro exploits the well-known feature that multiple sites implement to prevent DDoS attacks.^[2] Since the confirmation process is somewhat familiar to most users, they might not hesitate to press the “Allow” button to proceed. However, it is important to note that robot checks are not performed in such a way – users are typically presented with a captcha code or similar. Nonetheless, the website can use other tricks in order to make users perform the requested actions, for example, show a fake video screen that is supposedly about to be played.

Regardless if the notifications were allowed or not, visitors will not be presented with the underlying website content, such as a video. Instead, they will be returned to the same page. Unfortunately for those who accepted the Jioer.pro notifications, they will see intrusive popups that can lead to malicious websites if the embedded links are clicked.

Therefore, you should prevent unwanted popups by simply leaving the page. If you indeed pressed “Allow,” you should never click the links presented in the ads and remove Jioer.pro permission to show notifications. For that, you need to access your web browser's settings – check the bottom section for more details.

It is important to mention that redirects to Jioer.pro and other malicious websites, as well as increased amount of advertisements on all visited websites might indicate adware infection. In case you are suffering from such symptoms, you should perform a full system scan with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner, repair your system with FortectIntego, and then clear web browser data/cache, or reset it altogether.

Don't get tricked by scammers – recognize fraud with these tips

As previously mentioned, push notifications are a legitimate browser feature that is typically used by many websites. However, crooks managed to exploit it in order to push ads to users, earning money in the process. In the hopes of battling scams, Mozilla Firefox already stopped showing these intrusive prompts, and Chrome is still to follow. Thus, if you never want to be bothered by such activities, you should switch the browser or disable the feature within the settings menu.

Even if you disable the annoying push notifications, there are plenty of other scams to look out for. Here are a few particularly common examples:

• Fake Flash Player updates. These typically ask users to update the plugin to allegedly view the multimedia content. Flash technology is outdated and has been replaced for years – even a legitimate version of the plugin is no longer required. In fact it will no longer be supported by the end of 2020.^[3] Thus, if you see a Flash update prompt, completely ignore it and leave the page, as it is a scam that might result in malware infection.
• Survey scams. Crooks create fake websites that offer seemingly free prizes for completing an easy survey. After completing the steps, users are then asked to provide their personal information or pay the “commission” fee to receive the alleged gift. Never provide any information or pay money. Remember that, if it is too good to be true – it most likely is.
• Tech support scams are among the most common hoaxes that use scare tactics to intimidate users by providing fake claims about their computer health. Typically, criminals compile a fake message which allegedly comes from Microsoft, Apple, Google, or another well-known company. It claims that the computer is infected with viruses, personal information is being leaked, or other treacherous things are happening. The main goal is to make users call the provided number and scam them out of their money.
