How to stop ovelatishly.com notifications

ovelatishly.com is a generic scam website that tries to trick users into allowing ads on their desktops. It misuses a legitimate browser feature that allows sites with permission to show users notifications. This is why you’ll get a browser alert saying “ovelatishly.com wants to show notifications” when you get redirected to the site. If you click “Allow”, you will be spammed with ads.

 

 

ovelatishly.com does not have anything on it besides a message saying you need to click “Allow” to confirm you’re not a robot. The message is referring to the browser prompt that asks you to allow ovelatishly.com to show notifications. This browser alert will pop up as soon as you enter the site.

ovelatishly.com is one of thousands of websites misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to request permission to show users content directly on their desktops. However, instead of offering anything useful, ovelatishly.com and similar sites just bombard users with ads. The ads may purposely be made to resemble legitimate notifications to trick users into interacting with them.

If ovelatishly.com has permission to show notifications, you need to revoke it in your browser’s settings. In the meantime, do not interact with notifications because they could expose you to malware, scams, and other potentially malicious content. We have provided instructions at the end of this report if you need help with revoking the permission.

Why are you redirected to sites like ovelatishly.com?

There are several possible triggers for redirects to sites like ovelatishly.com. In very rare cases, the redirects are a sign of an adware infection. Most commonly, users get redirected by the sites they browse. Some websites try to expose users to as much advertisement content as possible, and that includes triggering ads no matter what users click on. Sites with pirated or pornographic content are particularly guilty of this. Clicking on anything on those sites will often trigger a redirect. But these redirects are easily blockable with most adblocker programs.

repeated redirects could be a symptom of an adware infection. Adware, browser hijackers, and similar infections can be installed by users by accident via what’s known as software bundling. Said infections are often bundled together with popular free programs as additional offers. Unfortunately, these offers are set to be installed alongside the programs they’re attached to automatically, even if they’re technically optional.

Added offers are optional but to stop them from installing, users have to manually deselect them. However, this is made difficult by the fact that they are hidden in settings users don’t normally use. This makes software bundling a controversial installation method.

If you pay attention when installing free programs, you should be able to prevent these unwanted installations without any issues. When installing a program, make sure to choose Advanced (Custom) settings instead of Default (Basic). The installation window will recommend using Default settings but these settings conceal all added offers and allow them to be installed alongside.

Advanced or Custom settings will not only display the offers but also give you the option to deselect what you do not want. Keep in mind that some offers will initially appear useful but you should not allow their installations. Legitimate programs do not use software bundling, and those that do are usually detected as potential threats by anti-virus programs. If you allow these installations, you will fill your computer with junk that can be difficult to get rid of.

It’s strongly recommended that you scan your computer with an anti-virus program to check for an adware infection just in case. Adware can be troublesome to remove manually so using an anti-virus program is much easier. Furthermore, you also need to install a good adblocker program to block redirects and regular ads.
