Liansatrickth.info is a rogue website that is used for increasing the number of Puch Notifications

Liansatrickth.info ads promote push notifications

Liansatrickth.info is a website that uses misleading strategies to make people subscribe to Push Notifications[1]. These notifications are getting popular among online business owners, advertisers, and website runners as they allow dynamically change the way they engage with the retain users. Unfortunately, untrustworthy parties keep misusing this legitimate service, thus making it less effective. 

Liansatrickth.info is one of the phishing sites used by scammers to make people unintentionally subscribe to third party Push Notifications. Typically, people start being exposed to this domain by adware programs that initiate regular redirects to this and similar domains (Pushtoday.icuPushlommy.comEnewssubspush.info, and many others). The site does not show any content except a pop-up box saying “Liansatrickth.info wants to show notifications” and a false claim, such as click Allow to start downloading or click Allow to confirm that you are not a robot. 

It is not difficult to disable Liansatrickth.info popups by resetting the affected web browser or removing the URL from the Notifications section. However, if this site is triggered by adware or another potentially unwanted program (PUP), redirects might continue. In such a case, you should delete the unwanted application in the first place and then restore the browser's settings.

Classification Adware/Potentially unwanted program (PUP)
Symptoms Web browser keeps redirecting to this website (or similar), generates commercial content
Main danger Can expose to malicious websites or display fictitious ads that download malware
Removal The notifications can be stopped by resetting the web browser. However, the Liansatrickth.info redirects are usually associated with adware program. Thus, complete elimination of intrusive ads and redirects requires PUP removal. This can be done manually or with the help of anti-malware software
Repair The system gets filled with PUP files once it gets installed. Unfortunately, some of those files remain even after PUP removal. Thus, we recommend regularly scanning the machine with FortectIntego

The Liansatrickth.info redirects typically expose people to a misleading website that always contains a pop-up alert on the top left side of the window saying that “Liansatrickth.info wants to show notifications.” That's a rule. The rest of the content and background may vary. 

Cybersecurity experts from Dieviren.de[2] found a tendency of Liansatrickth.info virus to mimic a legitimate Adf.ly background. Since Adf.ly[3] is a legitimate service that many active Internet users know, this trick may work and arouse the sense of trustworthiness. Besides, to make people click the Allow button and enable Push Notifications, crooks take advantage of such and similar claims:

Click ALLOW to confirm that you are not a robot

Please tab the Allow button to continue

You need to enable browser notifications to start downloading

Do not fall for the trick, as it's a scam. The Liansatrickth.info notifications are not generated by legitimate sites and businesses. They are used for promoting random services and products that third parties seek to promote, so you should not expect any relevant content. 

The Liansatrickth.info ads may appear to be very intrusive, as clicking on the causes redirects to suspicious sites that promote infamous system optimization tools, PUPs, and other useless software. Besides, you should also be cautious about scam sites that offer you to claim a prize, participate in a short online survey, or warn about a cyberattack targeting your machine. These phishing sites are widely used by scammers who seek to harvest people's credentials or spreading malware. 

You should immediately remove Liansatrickth.info virus as soon as it starts exhibiting the presence. Apart from the visible symptoms, the adware can run in the background and leak your browsing history regularly. It may allow third parties to access your search queries, mostly visited websites, IP addresses, clicks, and similar. 

Liansatrickth.info site variants

Liansatrickth.info removal should be initiated with professional anti-malware tools. Besides, a scan with FortectIntego is highly recommended afterward due to possible alterations to the startup and registry entries. As a consequence, the system may run in a slower manner, some system programs may launch for a long time, and other side effects can manifest. Therefore, optimization is highly recommended. 

Liansatrickth.info Push Notification removal from Chrome and other browsers

If after a full system scan the AV tool did not found malware, it means that you must have accidentally subscribed to Liansatrickth.info Push Notifications. Consequently, Chrome or another web browser keeps displaying sponsored content during your web browsing. To disable those pop-ups on the web browser, you should perform these steps:

  • Open the web browser's settings. Usually, they can be accessed by clicking on the three vertical dots positioned on the top-right of the window and selecting Settings
  • Then opt for Advanced and look for Content settings or Site settings
  • Select Notifications. 
  • Look for the Liansatrickth.info domain name and select the Block button or Remove from the list
  • We recommend doing the same with other suspicious/unknown domains to prevent suspicious ads.  

Third parties misuse legitimate distribution technique to spread malware

It's a known practice that untrustworthy third parties are trying to promote their content using controversial distribution methods. One of the most widely used PUP dissemination technique is known as Bundling. This method is a legitimate way to spread several applications contracted in one pack. Originally this method has been used to allow people to test new applications for free. Unfortunately, bundling has soon been revealed by criminals who started spreading adware and browser hijackers this way. 

Liansatrickth.info redirect virus

Furthermore, cybersecurity experts warn that adware and other PUPs can also be disseminated via unprotected networks and third-party sources that can easily be exploited by criminals. Scripted websites can work like click-to-download, so once landing on an infected site, you can agree with the installation of malware. 

To prevent such happening, you should be very cautious when web browsing the Internet. Keep a professional AV program activated all the time and make sure that it has features like real-time protection, sandboxing, and FireWall. In addition, carefully select the content that you are downloading. Perform the installation process by running the Advanced/Custom setup to spot additional components and reject them.
