Litownpull.live is a very generic scam website that tries to dupe users into enabling desktop notifications. Immediately after being redirected to the website, a browser alert stating “Litownpull.live wants to show notifications” will appear. Allowing these notifications would be a mistake because your desktop would be spammed with advertisements. Furthermore, some of those advertisements can expose you to scams and other potentially harmful content.
This browser feature allows sites to display notifications to users on their desktops but sites like Litownpull.live misuse it to spam users with ads. As soon as you get redirected to the site, you will see a browser alert saying “Litownpull.live wants to show notifications”. Litownpull.live will only display spammy advertisements instead of useful content that users could interact with if “Allow” is clicked. The website displays an image of a player and claims that if you click “Allow”, the download will start. If users were trying to download copyrighted content for free and got redirected to this site, this may work to trick them.
When given permission to display notifications, dubious websites like Litownpull.live simply spam users with advertisements. It’s not a good idea to engage with any desktop ads if you have granted permission to a questionable website. If you engage with them, you could be exposed to malicious programs or scams. A misleading advertisement could also convince you to download malware that poses as a reliable tool. Or you could fall for one of the countless scams.
You can use the “show push notifications” feature as long as the site is secure since it is a legitimate feature. Allowing a website you frequently visit to display notifications might even be helpful. If you clicked on the desktop notification, you would be sent straight to the content. Depending on what the website typically posts, the contents of the notifications would differ. For instance, if you allow a news site to display these notifications, you would receive breaking news alerts directly on your desktop.
You should revoke any permissions you may have granted Litownpull.live to display notifications on your desktop. Although it’s a very simple process, you can use the directions provided at the end of this article if you’re having problems navigating your browser’s settings.
Adware could trigger redirects to sites like Litownpull.live
Unexpected redirects to websites like Litownpull.live could be brought on by a number of different reasons. However, the most likely cause is you visiting questionable websites. There are thousands of websites that subject users to various forms of advertising. For example, clicking anywhere on a website that has pirated or pornographic content can trigger a redirect. However, a good adblocker application should deal with these annoying redirects very easily. The adblocker application would also block other intrusive ads.
Your computer may be infected with adware if you frequently find yourself being redirected to Litownpull.live and similar websites even when browsing safe and ad-free websites. Adware is a pretty obvious infection because of the never-ending flood of advertising. Infections like browser hijackers and adware are usually attached to free software as extra offers. This is known as software bundling. It’s a pretty controversial installation method because it essentially allows adware to install without explicit permission. The way it works is those extra offers are permitted to install alongside the program automatically without requiring explicit permission. This sneakiness is one of the reasons why anti-virus programs frequently flag programs that use software bundling to install as potential threats.
If you install programs correctly, you can easily stop these unwanted installations. Instead of using Default (Basic) settings, you should always install programs using Advanced (Custom) settings. If you choose Default, as suggested by the installation window, all additional offers will be hidden and permitted to install alongside. If you select Advanced settings, you can review all offers and uncheck them all. Every offer that has been added to the program you are installing should be deselected.
The extra offers may seem helpful at first, but it would be a mistake to let them install. By permitting these unwanted installations, you will just clog your computer with junk programs. Adware infections, for example, may be quite troublesome to deal with once fully installed. Unchecking a few boxes during program installation is considerably easier than trying to remove persistent infections like adware.
