Kingwithea.xyz ads (scam) - Free Instructions

What is Kingwithea.xyz ads?

Kingwithea.xyz is a deceptive site trying to trick people into clicking the “Allow” button

Kingwithea.xyz asks users to click "Allow" to supposedly access a video

If you are constantly bombarded with pop-up ads, you may have given permission for a page to show you push notifications. Kingwithea.xyz is a website that is capable of displaying pop-up ads even when the browser is closed. It uses social engineering methods to fool people into clicking the “Allow” button on a browser prompt.

Users may start seeing ads promoting adult, gambling, and scam sites. They may be redirected to dangerous pages that try to get their personal information, infect their machines with PUPs (potentially unwanted programs),^[1] and malware. This can be done through fake software offers, updates, and other schemes.

Stop pop-up ads from appearing

Kingwithea.xyz ads should be removed by disabling the site's permissions

First, you should know how pages, like Kingwithea.xyz are spread on the Internet. The truth is, that they can rarely be found through the search results. Most of the time, people browse through shady pages that are full of deceptive ads, and sneaky redirects.^[2] You should abstain from clicking on random links and visiting unknown sites.

A place that users get redirected from quite often is illegal streaming platforms.^[3] They are unregulated so they might even be filled with fake “Download” and Play” buttons. When a website like Inancukan.xyz, News-nogame.cc or Smscoldne.xyz opens, people may think that they have to click the “Allow” button to be able to access the movie or TV show they chose to watch.

In reality, these pages do not have any content to explore, except for the deceptive message and picture. A legitimate CAPTCHA^[4] verification step should never ask you to choose between “Block” and “Allow” on a browser prompt. Usually, people have to identify certain objects in pictures or simply check a box.

Push notification spam pages can also appear without any user input. This can happen if you are infected by adware. It is a type of PUP that generates commercial content on the machine, like pop-ups, banners, surveys, and redirects. The developers of the program can make a profit from PPC advertising.^[5]

To stop pop-up ads from appearing, we recommend going to your browser settings first and trying to disable the permission you gave Kingwithea.xyz. If that will not work, there is a possibility that adware is hiding in the background.

Clear cookies and cache

The next important step is to clear your browsers. With the help of cookies, websites and web-based applications can gather data like your IP address, geolocation, websites you visit, links you click on, and things you purchase online. This is not necessarily bad. Websites can use this information to personalize the user experience. However, data can also be sold to advertising networks and other third parties.

That is why it is recommended to clear cookies and cache regularly. You can use a maintenance tool like FortectIntego for this task. It can take care of the issue automatically. This software can also fix various system errors and corrupted files which is especially helpful after a virus infection.

Remove potentially unwanted applications

As we mentioned before, the first removal step may not have been effective if you are infected by adware. If you still experience unpleasant symptoms, we urge you to check your system for PUAs. Most of the time, they sneak in through freeware distribution platforms. These websites include bundled software in the installations and hope that most people will not notice.

You should use only official web stores and developer sites for software installations. You should also always choose the “Custom” or “Advanced” installation method, read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. The most important step is to check the file list and untick the boxes next to any files that seem unrelated.

Fraudsters often disguise PUPs as “handy” tools so they would be more difficult to identify for the average user. You should deploy SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes professional security software that will perform a full system scan and eliminate any PUPs automatically. They can also prevent such infections in the future by warning you about a suspicious download. If you still prefer doing it yourself, here are step-by-step instructions for Windows and macOS:
