What is Unonontate.com ads?

Unonontate.com asks users to click “Allow” so it can send them pop-up spam

Unonontate.comPop-up ads from shady sites can lead to other dangerous pages

Unonontate.com is a bogus website set up by criminals to dupe people into subscribing to push notifications. The page masquerades as a verification step. Users are supposed to click the “Allow” button to confirm that they are not robots before proceeding.

However, by clicking “Allow,” users grant permission to display push notifications to them. They begin to receive annoying pop-up ads, which can appear even when the browser is closed. Fraudsters may also use rogue advertising networks to place advertisements that lead to dangerous websites.

As a result, people may end up on scam pages that attempt to obtain personal information from them or trick them into downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs)[1] or malware. We strongly advise users not to click on any links embedded in advertisements, even if they appear to promote legitimate products.

People typically report seeing ads promoting adult websites, bogus antivirus offers, software deals, giveaways, and surveys. That is why it is critical to turn off the ads as soon as possible, especially if other people are using the affected machine.

NAME Unonontate.com
TYPE Push notification spam; adware
SYMPTOMS Pop-up ads start appearing in the corner of the screen after the “Allow” button is pressed
DISTRIBUTION Shady websites, deceptive ads, redirects, freeware installations
DANGERS Links embedded in the push notifications can lead to dangerous websites where users can be tricked into providing their personal information and suffer from monetary losses
ELIMINATION Users can block push notifications via browser settings
FURTHER STEPS It is recommended to use a repair tool like FortectIntego after the removal to fix any remaining damage

Distribution methods

Pages created solely for the purpose of spamming users with pop-ups have no other content. They are rarely found in search results. They are usually hidden on other shady, unregulated sites. Illegal streaming sites, for example, are riddled with deceptive ads and sneaky redirects.

Even though Google promised to remove fake “Download” and “Play” buttons,[2] they remain. If users come across these buttons and click on them, they may believe that if they press “Allow,” they will be able to watch the movie or TV show they chose.

It is best to only visit pages that you are familiar with and trust. Use legal streaming services such as Netflix or Hulu. They have a low monthly subscription fee and allow users to watch as much content as they want. Some may argue that it is costly, but keeping your system in good working order may save you money in the long run.

Clear your browsers

It is strongly advised to clear your browsers after visiting such a website. Websites and web-based applications can collect data like your IP address, geolocation, websites you visit, links you click on, and items you buy online using various tracking technologies. All of this is accomplished through the use of cookies and cache.

These small data files aren't necessarily bad. Legitimate websites employ them to personalize the user experience by displaying relevant results, for example. They can, however, be used to generate revenue by selling them to ad networks and other third parties. This problem does have an automatic solution – FortectIntego. With the click of a button, this powerful software can stop tracking and delete existing data, as well as repair serious system errors.

Check your PC for adware infection

PUPs can also cause unwanted browser behavior. Pages like Unonontate.com can appear without any user input at all. Adware,[3] which is a program that generates commercial content in the machine without the users' knowledge, can cause this. Many of them are disguised as “useful” tools, making them more difficult to detect for average users.

That is why having professional security tools like SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner and Malwarebytes is essential. A PC without an antivirus is like a home without a door. Anti-malware solutions can scan the machine and detect suspicious processes running in the background.

How to prevent from getting adware

Access your website securely from any location

When you work on the domain, site, blog, or different project that requires constant management, content creation, or coding, you may need to connect to the server and content management service more often. The best solution for creating a tighter network could be a dedicated/fixed IP address.

If you make your IP address static and set to your device, you can connect to the CMS from any location and do not create any additional issues for the server or network manager that needs to monitor connections and activities. VPN software providers like Private Internet Access can help you with such settings and offer the option to control the online reputation and manage projects easily from any part of the world.

 

Recover files after data-affecting malware attacks

While much of the data can be accidentally deleted due to various reasons, malware is one of the main culprits that can cause loss of pictures, documents, videos, and other important files. More serious malware infections lead to significant data loss when your documents, system files, and images get encrypted. In particular, ransomware is is a type of malware that focuses on such functions, so your files become useless without an ability to access them.

Even though there is little to no possibility to recover after file-locking threats, some applications have features for data recovery in the system. In some cases, Data Recovery Pro can also help to recover at least some portion of your data after data-locking virus infection or general cyber infection.
