ourdoucki.net is a generic scam website that tries to trick users into allowing ads on the desktop. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “ourdoucki.net wants to show notifications”. Allowing these notifications would permit the site to show ads.
When you get redirected to ourdoucki.net, you will see a message saying you need to confirm you are in your city to see girls from your city who “want to chat with you”. Your browser will also show a browser alert saying “ourdoucki.net wants to show notifications”. The “show notifications” feature is legitimate but dubious sites like ourdoucki.net misuse it all the time.
If you permit ourdoucki.net to show notifications, it will spam ads on the right side of the screen. The ads will appear similarly to where legitimate system notifications are displayed. This may confuse some users and trick them into interacting with them. Clicking on those notifications is not a good idea because you could be taken to questionable websites that conceal malware or promote scams.
If you have given ourdoucki.net permission to show notifications, you can easily revoke the permission in your browser’s settings. We have provided instructions at the end of the report if you need help navigating your browser’s settings.
Why are you redirected to sites like ourdoucki.net?
If you get redirected to sites like ourdoucki.net, it’s usually because you browse high-risk websites without an adblocker program. A lot of sites, ones that have pirated or pornographic content in particular, try to expose users to as much advertisement content as possible. That includes spamming ads and triggering redirects. Unless you have a decent adblocker program installed, clicking on anything when on those sites will trigger a redirect. But any adblocker should be able to deal with the redirects easily.
Redirects to ourdoucki.net may also be a symptom of an adware infection. In most cases, infections like adware, and browser hijackers are installed accidentally by users via a method known as software bundling. Said infections come added to popular free programs as additional offers. These offers are set to be installed alongside the programs they’re attached to automatically without requiring users’ explicit permission.
To stop the added offers from installing, you have to deselect them when installing a program manually. All added offers are optional but they are hidden in settings users usually don’t use, which is why software bundling is considered to be a deceptive installation method. However, as long as you pay attention when installing free programs, there should be no trouble with unwanted installations. When installing a program, choose Advanced (Custom) settings instead of Default (Basic). The installation window will recommend using Default settings but Default settings conceal all added offers and allow them to be installed automatically.
If you choose Advanced (Custom) settings, all added offers will be made visible and you will be given the option to deselect what you do not want. Some of these offers may initially appear useful but allowing their installations is not a good idea because you will only fill your computer with junk programs that can be difficult to get rid of. Legitimate programs do not use software bundling to install because it’s a controversial installation method. Programs that do are generally detected as potential threats by many anti-virus programs.
How do I stop ourdoucki.net notifications?
It’s strongly recommended to scan your computer with an anti-virus program to check for an adware infection as redirects may be a symptom. Using an anti-virus program to detect and remove adware is much easier than doing it yourself. You also need to have a good adblocker program to block redirects and other advertisement content.
