What is Oo01.biz ads?

Oo01.biz is a malicious website that starts sending misleading advertisements to users' desktops

Oo01.bizOo01.biz is a fake website designed by scammers

Oo01.biz is just one of many push notification scam sites that attempts to monetize users' clicks on ads. Initially, people end up on such sites whenever they visit high-risk places online, such as torrent sites or illegal video streaming platforms. Redirects occur whenever a fake link is clicked, or a malicious script automatically takes people elsewhere.

Once on the Oo01.biz site, people are presented with not much in general – there's a pop-up message asking whether push notifications should be enabled and a background picture with a message encouraging them to click the “Allow” button. If they do, they will permit the site to show notifications, which would result in them receiving intrusive, annoying, and even malicious advertisements directly on their desktops.

As a result, users are exposed to Oo01.biz ads regardless of what they are doing at the time. The pop-ups may carry all sorts of content – from your regular ads advertising legitimate goods to straight-out phishing[1] messages and get-rich-quick[2] scams. We recommend not interacting with these messages and removing them using our guide.

How do push notification scams spread?

Users do not visit websites like Oo01.biz intentionally – it wouldn't even work if the URL were used in the address bar. Instead, people are redirected there accidentally, which works in favor of scammers, as mistakes are much easier to make in these circumstances.

The most common reason for a redirect is a click on a booby-trapped link somewhere else. For example, peer-to-peer[3] networks are notorious for their usage of fake “Download” buttons and fake links that end up leading users to potentially dangerous websites. In some cases, high-risk websites also use automatic scripts to reroute people without users having even to click anything.

Therefore, we recommend staying away from websites such as these, as not only are they often contaminated with various malware, but they also can lead to other malicious websites. For better protection against hacked websites, we recommend using a reliable ad-blocking app in conjunction with security software that uses a web defense feature.

The fake messages used to trick users

Once people are redirected, they are caught off guard and usually don't think much about what they are seeing. In this case, Oo01.biz would present them with various messages which give the reason to confirm the push notification spam. Of course, people are not aware that the action would result in them seeing intrusive ads non-stop. These are the messages one may encounter on any push notification scam site, as they copy one another most of the time:

  • Just one more step! “Allow” to continue
  • Click Allow to start downloading
  • Press “Allow” to verify, that you are not a robot
  • Click “Allow” to win a prize and get it in our shop!
  • If you are 18+, click Allow, etc.

Oo01.biz scamCrooks try to fool users by using misleading statements

The notification prompt is presented as something entirely different, for example, that it would confirm users' age or that they are not robots. These verifications were previously encountered by many while browsing the web, so the decision may be logical at the time. However, it is important to differentiate between a legitimate and a scam site, or the consequences may be dire.

Luckily, even if you have accepted the push notifications from a malicious site, you are relatively safe, as long as you don't click links or visit promoted websites. Getting rid of these pop-ups is not that difficult, as long as you know where to look – please follow the guide below.

How to prevent from getting adware

Stream videos without limitations, no matter where you are

There are multiple parties that could find out almost anything about you by checking your online activity. While this is highly unlikely, advertisers and tech companies are constantly tracking you online. The first step to privacy should be a secure browser that focuses on tracker reduction to a minimum.

Even if you employ a secure browser, you will not be able to access websites that are restricted due to local government laws or other reasons. In other words, you may not be able to stream Disney+ or US-based Netflix in some countries. To bypass these restrictions, you can employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN, which provides dedicated servers for torrenting and streaming, not slowing you down in the process.

Data backups are important – recover your lost files

Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to personal data. Once it is executed on a machine, it launches a sophisticated encryption algorithm that locks all your files, although it does not destroy them. The most common misconception is that anti-malware software can return files to their previous states. This is not true, however, and data remains locked after the malicious payload is deleted.

While regular data backups are the only secure method to recover your files after a ransomware attack, tools such as Data Recovery Pro can also be effective and restore at least some of your lost data.
