What is Ourbestspot.com ads?

Ourbestspot.com is a bogus website used by crooks to generate revenue

Ourbestspot.comPop-up ads may lead to scam sites that try to take advantage

Ourbestspot.com is a fake website created by scammers to make money. They use social engineering tactics[1] to trick people into subscribing to push notifications. Users are asked to press the “Allow” button to continue watching a video, but instead, they start getting spammed with annoying pop-up ads that can appear even when the browser is closed. There is no other content on the page besides the deceptive message.

Crooks often use rogue advertising networks that place ads leading to dangerous websites. As a result, people can end up on scam pages that try to obtain personal information or trick them into downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs)[2] and malware. People have reported seeing ads promoting adult sites, fake antivirus offers, giveaways, and surveys.

Tips for staying safe online

To stay safe online, only visit websites that you are familiar with and trust. Do not click on links or ads from places that seem sketchy- even if they advertise seemingly legitimate products and services. Oftentimes, scammers will hide their shady pages full of scams on other sites like this one which is not well-regulated. They do this by posting misleading ads and building sneaky redirects.

Adware infections

Ourbestspot.com pop-ups can appear on your screen without any warning or user input. This happens when there is adware,[3] which is advertising-supported software, present on your machine. Adware often causes an increased amount of commercial content, like pop-ups, banners, and redirects.

Oftentimes, adware is spread through unofficial channels such as freeware[4] distribution platforms. They include additional, unwanted programs in the installers that make money off of innocent user activity. That is why it is always best to only download apps from official web stores and developer websites. Always stay vigilant during the installation process and do not skip any steps.

The dangers of allowing cookies to track your activity

Maintaining your browser's privacy is also important. Cookies are often used by websites to track user activity, and they can store data like IP addresses, geolocation, visited sites, and online purchase history. This information can be sold to advertising networks or other third-party companies.

We recommend using a maintenance tool like FortectIntego. Not only can it clear cookies and cache automatically, but this powerful software can also fix various system errors, corrupted files, and registry issues. This is especially helpful after adware infections.

Scan your system to detect adware

If you notice an increased amount of commercial content like pop-ups, banners, surveys, and others, or you often get redirected to strange websites even after you completed the previous steps, you may have an adware infection.

Generally, it is never clear which application could be causing the problems, as PUPs are often disguised as “handy” tools. We suggest using SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes anti-malware tools that can automatically scan your machine and eliminate it completely.

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.
