What is Makeklick.biz?

Makeklick.biz – a website which notifications should never be enabled

Makeklick.biz notificationsPush notification viruses show different prompts to trick you into pressing the Allow button

Makeklick.biz is a push notification virus that seeks to deliver ads directly to your desktop or screen. It does that by displaying deceptive page backgrounds suggesting that you need to accept its notifications to download a file, enter the site, prove that you're not a robot, continue watching, etc. Please don't click the Allow button on this or any other shady website, for Pete's sake.

If you do, advertisements in the form of notifications will start popping up in the top-right or bottom-right corners of your desktop or straight on your phone screen. These ads could result in you visiting questionable, treacherous, or even malicious websites.

However, if you've accepted Makeklick.biz notifications, that's not the end of the world. By reading this article, you'll find out how to remove them from any browser. Additionally, we'll explain how to remove adware responsible for causing the initial redirect to the article's culprit and restore your device's overall health.

name Makeklick.biz
Type Adware, PUP,[1] redirect virus
IP address 178.62.225.201
Purpose Increase traffic to affiliated sites by showing deceptive ads and causing redirects
Symptoms Browsing speed and device's performance are decreased; ads appear in the form of notifications; new tabs with unknown sites open out of the blue
Risks Affiliated sites might try to draw out your private details, infect your device with malware,[2] push to install additional PUPs, lure you into gambling, etc.
Distribution Software bundles, fake Flash Player updates, deceptive ads, file-sharing platforms
Elimination Scan your infected device with trustworthy anti-malware software to remove adware and any other unwelcomed guests
System repair After any infection removal, a system tune-up is in order to repair the damage your device's system sustained. Use the powerful FortectIntego tool to fix all system inconsistencies automatically

Makeklick.biz virus, although being not malicious itself, could pose real dangers both to you and your device. All risks are coming from its affiliated sites. Since PUP developers care only about money, they don't care what they're promoting as far as they get paid.

That's why the sponsored pages might be not only untrustworthy pages pushing to install other PUPs or lure you into gambling but also malicious, trying to infect your devices with all kinds of parasites. Some could also try to draw out your private details, involve you in various tech support scams, and so on.

You can be redirected to these pages either by clicking on ads that are popping up on your screen/desktop or if a sudden redirect is triggered. We don't even advise trying to close these ads by pressing the “X” button, as in some cases, that also opened a new tab with affiliated content.

If you've accepted Makeklick.biz notifications, you have to remove them ASAP before you get yourself in trouble. At the bottom of this article, we've posted detailed notification removal instructions for Chrome, Safari, and other browsers. Feel free to use them.

To remove adware that caused redirects to Makeklick.biz and possibly other push notification virus portals, you will have to use a reliable security tool. If you don't own one, we recommend downloading free tools such as Malwarebytes or SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner. Please remember to update their virus signatures so the latest infections would be identified and blocked.

Once both the push notification virus and adware are removed, it's time to care of your device's overall health because each infection leaves its mark. According to IT experts,[3] the FortectIntego system diagnostics tool will ensure all system irregularities are resolved and your device runs smoothly again.

Potentially unwanted programs are often installed with other software

Some people install PUPs willingly when they believe their false advertisement campaigns. But that happens rarely. Usually, PUPs, such as adware, browser hijackers, etc., are installed on user devices unknowingly with other software through a technique called software bundling.

Packs containing installers for more than one program are usually downloaded from third-party software vendors, but some legitimate software developers can use this technique too. That's why you have to be very cautious when installing any new programs.

Makeklick.biz redirectPUPs are usually installed through software bundles

You have to choose the Custom or Advanced installation mode as only then will you be able to deselect all additional apps from installing on your device. When getting an app from a bundle, please accept to install only the one you initially wanted.

Remove Makeklick.biz notifications and adware causing redirects within a few minutes

You should accept push notifications only from pages you often visit and trust to deliver you breaking news, exclusive deals, the latest sports updates, etc. Websites like Makeklick.biz, Puttheph.club, Beastclick.biz, will do no such thing. They're developed to redirect you to other shady pages.

To ensure that any cyber threat is properly removed, you need to use a reliable anti-malware tool. Otherwise, some files or entries might be overlooked. Once you download a proper AV tool, make sure its virus database is up to date and initiate a full system scan. That will remove adware and any other suspicious or harmful files/apps.

When you're finished with that, you can remove Makeklick.biz notifications from Safari, Chrome, and other browsers, by using our free instructions posted below. Afterward, run a quick system scan with time-tested system diagnostics software to ensure that your device runs properly and you're done.

How to prevent from getting adware

Do not let government spy on you

The government has many issues in regards to tracking users' data and spying on citizens, so you should take this into consideration and learn more about shady information gathering practices. Avoid any unwanted government tracking or spying by going totally anonymous on the internet. 

You can choose a different location when you go online and access any material you want without particular content restrictions. You can easily enjoy internet connection without any risks of being hacked by using Private Internet Access VPN.

Control the information that can be accessed by government any other unwanted party and surf online without being spied on. Even if you are not involved in illegal activities or trust your selection of services, platforms, be suspicious for your own security and take precautionary measures by using the VPN service.

Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack

Computer users can suffer from data losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings. Ransomware can encrypt and hold files hostage, while unforeseen power cuts might cause a loss of important documents. If you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work. It is also equally important to update backups on a regular basis so that the newest information remains intact – you can set this process to be performed automatically.

When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware strikes out of nowhere. Use Data Recovery Pro for the data restoration process.
