oefanyorbesttn.info is a highly dubious website. It tries to trick users into allowing ads on the desktop by misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to ask users for permission to show notifications on the desktop. Instead of showing useful content, oefanyorbesttn.info just spams ads.
Users likely get redirected to oefanyorbesttn.info when browsing online streaming or pirated content websites. For example, if users are trying to download something and get redirected to oefanyorbesttn.info, they may interact with the site because it displays a message saying they need to allow notifications to start the download. The site doesn’t have anything else on it. The site also prompts the browser to show an alert saying “oefanyorbesttn.info wants to show notifications”.
The “show notifications” feature is completely legitimate but giving a site like oefanyorbesttn.info permission will result in ads on the desktop. The ads will appear as notifications on the right side of the screen, in a similar place to where legitimate notifications appear. The ads shown by oefanyorbesttn.info may also be purposely made to look like system notifications. This is done to trick users into interacting with them.
If you have given the site permission to show notifications, do not interact with them to avoid being exposed to potentially dangerous content, such as scams and malware. You also need to revoke the permission in your browser’s settings. We have provided instructions to help you if you have trouble navigating your browser’s settings.
Why are you redirected to sites like oefanyorbesttn.info?
There are several reasons why users get redirected to sites like oefanyorbesttn.info. In some cases, adware is the trigger but this is usually accompanied by other very obvious symptoms. Most commonly, the redirects are triggered when users browse questionable websites. If users don’t have an adblocker program installed, clicking on anything when browsing certain sites will trigger a redirect. This is particularly the case when browsing sites with pirated content on them. However, any decent adblocker program should have no issues with blocking these ads.
Redirects to oefanyorbesttn.info can also be triggered by adware. It’s not a serious infection and is usually installed accidentally by users via the software bundling method. Adware is often added to popular free programs as an additional offer, which is permitted to install alongside automatically.
All added offers are technically optional but they have to be manually deselected to prevent their installations. However, the offers are hidden in settings users don’t normally use, which is why users often don’t notice them. This is why software bundling is a rather deceptive installation method. It’s very common for programs that use it to be detected as potential threats by anti-virus programs.
If you pay attention when installing free programs, there should be no issues with preventing these unwanted installations. Make sure to choose Advanced (Custom) settings instead of Default (Basic) when given the option even if the installation window recommends using Default settings. If you use Default, all added offers will be authorized to install alongside the program.
Advanced (Custom) settings clearly display all added offers. Those settings also give you the option to deselect the offers you do not want, which should be all offers. It’s strongly recommended to not allow any added offers to be installed, even if they seem like they could be useful. You will fill your computer with junk in no time if you allow the installations.
