What is Manageheavilyfreethefile.vip ads?

Manageheavilyfreethefile.vip is a deceptive site looking for gullible people to press the “Allow” button

Manageheavilyfreethefile.vip can fool users into thinking it can provide a file

Manageheavilyfreethefile.vip is a push notification spam site. It is spread on other shady sites like illegal streaming platforms^[1] that are full of deceptive ads and sneaky redirects.^[2] Usually, people encounter this website when they click on something they should not, and it opens in a new tab.

The site uses social engineering to make users click the “Allow” button. Because push notifications are based on a subscription model, there is no other way for page creators to gain permission to do that. After the button is pressed, people start getting spammed with pop-up ads from various sources. These can be legitimate advertisers that promote real products, but most often, these ads lead to other dangerous websites.

Deceptive ads can be difficult to distinguish for the average user, but you can most definitely see signs of clickbait. Often they include something sensational that urges users to click on the link and see what it is about. Those kinds of sites can trick people into providing their personal information or downloading PUPs^[3] (potentially unwanted programs) and malware.

Websites created to spam users with pop-up ads use various messages to make people click the “Allow” button. Some of them say that users have to verify that they are not robots, like FastBestCaptcha.top. Some of them say that they will provide the latest news like Ukndaspiratioty.xyz. Some can even ask to confirm if the user is over 18 years old, like Totalcoolblog.com.

As we mentioned before, these websites can be encountered when browsing through already shady pages and are rarely found through search results. That is why we say that a lot of the fault associated with push notification spam is with the users themselves. Many ignore security experts' guidelines on how to behave online to avoid various threats. People click on random buttons and links without making sure that they are safe first.

Manageheavilyfreethefile.vip sends pop-up ads from random sources

Some users do not realize that almost every website they visit can track their browsing activity. This is not a bad thing in itself, as long as you do not visit pages that are not recommended. But if you do, pages that shady individuals own may have access to your data with the help of cookies.^[4] It can later be sold to advertising networks to spam you with more ads.

You can get rid of them easily with a tool called FortectIntego. It will automatically clear your browsers, so you do not have to worry about it. It can also remove virus damage, fix corrupted files, system errors, registry issues, etc.

Perform a scan to check if you do not have adware

After an encounter with such a website, you could have installed a PUP by accident, so we recommend using professional security tools like SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes to scan your system and remove them if they find any. These types of programs can perform various processes in the background without your knowledge. Adware can generate ads on your machine, like banners, surveys, pop-ups, and redirects.

Software like this is most often installed from freeware^[5] distribution sites. To avoid installing adware and other types of PUPs, you should follow simple steps during the installation process. Always choose the “Custom” or “Advanced” methods, do not skip through the steps, read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use sections to find out more information about how your information will be collected and used. The most important part is to check the file list and untick the boxes next to the programs that seem unrelated.
