flisshop.club is a generic scam website that misuses a legitimate browser feature to spam users’ desktops with ads. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “flisshop.club wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, you will authorize the site to spam ads.
flisshop.club has no content on it besides an image and a message saying you need to confirm you are not a robot by clicking “Allow” on the “flisshop.club wants to show notifications” browser alert. The “show notifications” feature is completely legitimate but it is usually misused by dubious sites like flisshop.club. If you permit flisshop.club to show notifications, it will spam ads on the right side of the screen instead of showing useful content. The ads will appear similarly to where legitimate system notifications are displayed, which may confuse some users and trick them into interacting with them. Don’t click on those notifications to avoid being taken to questionable or even malicious websites that conceal malware or promote scams.
If flisshop.club has permission to show notifications, you should revoke it as soon as possible. We have provided instructions for how to do it at the end of the report. Until you do, be careful about what you click on.
Why are you redirected to sites like flisshop.club?
If users get redirected to sites like flisshop.club, it’s usually because they browse high-risk websites without an adblocker. A lot of sites, especially ones with pirated or pornographic content, try to expose users to as much advertisement content as possible. That includes spamming ads and triggering redirects. Unless users have an adblocker program installed, clicking on anything when browsing such sites will trigger a redirect. Fortunately, these redirects can easily be blocked with any decent adblocker program.
Redirects to flisshop.club could also be a symptom of an adware infection. Adware, browser hijackers, and similar infections are usually installed accidentally by users via a method known as software bundling. Said infections come added to popular free programs as additional offers, which are set to be installed alongside the programs they’re attached to automatically. Users’ explicit permission is not required.
To stop the added offers from installing, you have to manually deselect them during program installation. The offers are always optional but they are hidden in settings users don’t usually use, which makes software bundling quite deceptive. However, as long as you pay attention when installing free programs, you should have no trouble preventing unwanted installations. When installing a program, choose Advanced (Custom) settings instead of Default (Basic). The installation window recommends using Default settings but Default settings conceal all added offers and allow them to be installed automatically.
Advanced or Custom settings will display all offers that have been added to the program you are installing. Those settings will also give you the option to deselect the offers you do not want. While some offers may initially appear useful, it’s not a good idea to allow their installations because you will quickly fill your computer with junk. Legitimate programs do not use software bundling to install and it’s considered to be a controversial installation method. Programs that do are often detected as potential threats by anti-virus programs.
How do I stop flisshop.club notifications?
In case adware is why you’re getting redirected, it’s a good idea to scan your computer with an anti-virus program. Adware is a persistent infection and can be annoying to remove manually so using an anti-virus program is recommended. You also need a good adblocker program to block redirects and other advertisement content.
