Se29.biz is a fake website that shows intrusive ads directly on your desktop

Se29.biz is a fake website that should not be trusted

Se29.biz is a scam website that uses various tricks to make people subscribe to push notifications, only to begin spamming them with intrusive ads via the notification feature later. Since these pop-ups are shown on the system level, many users are unaware of how to stop them from being shown.

The activity can begin at any point once the permission to show push notifications was granted by the user. It can include all sorts of advertisements, be it legitimate ads or misleading messages that claim virus infection and advertise potentially unwanted programs or fake services.

Se29.biz ads can show up at any time, as long as the browser is running in the background. The content of these can vary from commonly advertised software, services, or goods to straight out malicious ads that show misleading messages.

Thus, we recommend not interacting with these pop-ups, as you may lose money to scams or infect your system with malicious software. We will provide instructions on how to do that below and also explain how to check the system for infections in case those are present on the system secretly.

How do you end up on the Se29.biz site?

Users do not wander off to malicious websites on purpose, as it would put their security and privacy at risk. However, some people opt for visiting websites of dubious origins, such as those that distribute pirated software or allow the streaming of copyrighted video material.

Quite often, these websites host booby-trapped links that, once clicked, would lead to Se29.biz or other malicious websites. It is vital not to interact with the contents of these sites and leave them immediately.

In other, more rare cases, unexpected redirects can occur more often to those who have adware^[1] or other malicious software installed on their systems. Adware is a potentially unwanted application specializing in exposing users to various extensive ad campaigns, showing them deals, banners, pop-ups, in-text links, and other types of ads.

If you notice that your browser shows signs of infection, we recommend scanning the system with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes anti-malware software. It would ensure that all the malicious components are eliminated at once. For best results, we advise employing FortectIntego repair – an advanced system check tool that can fix various damage caused by the virus and clean leftover files automatically.

How you might get tricked by push notification scams

There are many different forms of online fraud – some are more damaging than others. For example, spoofing websites might result in users providing the login account information directly to cybercriminals without suspecting a thing, thanks to clever techniques used by criminals.

Se29.biz shows fake messages to convince users to click the "Allow" button within the notification prompt

Push notification scams are not as damaging as the previous example, although it is important not to diminish their significance in the grand scheme of things. Scam authors are often associated with insecure advertising networks, which commonly results in users being exposed to other phishing^[2] attempts, e.g., get-rich-quick^[3] schemes.

The main goal of crooks is to monetize user exposure to ads, with clicks on them being a priority. Since many users don't know much about push notifications, they are also unaware of how to remove them, making the whole scheme very successful. In order to be successful and make users subscribe to Se29.biz ads, crooks come up with various fake reasons – here are a few examples you might expect to see:

• Please tap Allow to continue.
• If you are 18+, tap Allow.
• Click Allow if you are not a robot.
• Can't play this video! Perhaps your browser doesn't allow video playback. Please click the Allow button to watch the video.
• Download is ready. Click Allow to download your file.

The trick is to make people believe that the “Allow” button is meant to give them access to some type of underlying content, which is never the case. After clicking it, users would not be shown anything that was promised and instead would be redirected to a similar website (e.g., Reistivelbife.com or News-fubavi.cc), where they would be asked to enable push notifications once again.

If you fell victim to this scam, you shouldn't worry too much because it is easy to remove the pop-ups via browser settings. Proceed with the instructions below.
