What is Severalmefark.com ads?

Severalmefark.com is a scam website that uses fake images and messages to convince users to subscribe

Severalmefark.com is a malicious website you should not interact with

There are plenty of users who have complained about the strange phenomenon seen on their desktops – pop-ups marked by the Severalmefark.com web address. People are also growing increasingly concerned about this phenomenon, as it does not seem to stop on its own, and its frequency is sometimes unbearable.

Push notifications seem to show up at completely random times, regardless of what users are currently doing – browsing their favorite websites, streaming a video, or even playing a video game. If they are in full-screen mode, they might still see the pop-up, which can be extremely intrusive. In other words, if the browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, MS Edge, or any other one) is running or idling, the Severalmefark.com ads might show up at any time.

The truth is that users themselves subscribe to receive notifications from particular websites. In order to do that, they have to press the “Allow” button within the notification prompt that they see in the corner of the page. The catch here is that people are tricked into doing so and often don't even realize where the activity originates from.

How it all works

The encounter with push notification scams is purely accidental in most cases, although it is true that torrents, illegal video streaming, adult-oriented, gambling, and similar sites are more likely to incorporate booby-trapped links which, once clicked, would redirect users to rogue places online. Additionally, another reason for these redirects can also be a direct result of adware^[1] or other malicious software infection, hence this point should be thoroughly investigated.

Upon entry to Severalmefark.com, users might be presented with all sorts of statements that are most certainly fictitious. Here's one of the examples that are very common on these types of sites:

Click “Allow” if you are not a robot

As evident, crooks are trying to present the “Allow” button as something completely different. In this case, they are trying to confuse users by imitating a very well-known technique used to verify users, ensuring that they are not robots – this is done in order to protect the websites from DDoS^[2] attacks. Since people are familiar with this practice, they might not see the difference and do what they are asked to.

Once the offer to show notifications has been accepted, permission to deliver information to users' screens is granted. Usually, nothing really happens until much later, and this is exactly why so many people are baffled where this is coming from. Luckily, it is easy to get rid of these annoying pop-ups, and we will explain how below.

Mere 30 years ago, nobody could have guessed how important and impactful the internet would become later. Nowadays, more than half of the population is using it on a regular basis, with more locations gaining access to the world wide web constantly. Currently, the internet holds almost two billion websites^[3] – a number that is hard to grasp.

It is evident that some of these websites are not created to provide news, entertainment, and other services to users. Instead, some individuals choose to take advantage of people for their own financial benefit and, since the internet offers a lot of anonymity, it serves as a perfect medium for that.

Push notification scams are very common, as they require very little effort and time to make (we have previously discussed Wholewowblog.com, Myhypeposts.com, Bestfaustcaptcha.top, and similar sites). Crooks create these websites quickly because there is simply nothing in them – no buttons to press and no content to explore. The only thing that users see is the fake message which is accompanied by a picture.

Push notifications from Severalmefark.com can be very intrusive

It is true that push notification scams are less dangerous, all things considered, but it does not mean that the promoted ads should remain on the system. Even if you are aware that the contents of push notifications are malicious, you might one day click on the link by accident due to the feature's unpredictability. If you do, never explore websites that are promoted by Severalmefark.com and instead get rid of push notifications from malicious sources.

Additional tips

Once you have eliminated push notifications from all the malicious websites, we strongly recommend performing additional system checks. First of all, we advise you to avoid downloading software from high-risk websites (torrents and crack sites, for example, are used by cybercriminals to infect users with ransomware such as Fhkf.

Likewise, even popular third-party software distribution websites bundle software, so you should always be careful when installing new applications on your system – always pick the Advanced installation method instead of Recommended one, remove all the pre-ticked boxes, read the fine print, and watch out for misleading button placements.

Since random redirects might be a sign of adware, we suggest you scan your system with powerful security software, such as SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes, to ensure that your device is definitely free from infections. Anti-malware is also the most effective method to prevent malware infiltrations – as long as you don't ignore the warnings it shows you.

You can also clean your web browsers to better protect your privacy and ensure that unwanted ads would not return. Likewise, this action would reduce the probability of the dangerous session hijacking attack, which would otherwise allow cybercriminals to steal your account logins and passwords. For this, we recommend employing FortectIntego or following the instructions we provide below.
