How to stop Ceshautoagh.com ads

Block unwanted notifications

First of all, Ceshautoagh.com uses notifications to spam users with unwanted ads. To stop them, wait for a pop-up to show up and then click the Settings button on it. You’ll be presented with the option to block all ads from the site.

It’s actually better to go into your notification settings to manage these settings:

• Chrome – open Settings, scroll down to Site settings (under Privacy and security), click on Notifications.
• Edge (Chromium) – open Settings, click Site Permissions, Notifications.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.

This is because some notification spammers have multiple subdomains that need to be blocked separately. And besides, this will give you the opportunity to check what other potentially unwanted sites might be allowed to send you messages and block them, as well.

Keep in mind that this doesn’t block the Ceshautoagh.com site itself but only its notifications.

Find and remove unwanted programs

Like with all adware infections, after getting rid of Ceshautoagh.com’s ads, it’s good to check your computer for other problems, especially bad browser extensions and suspicious recently-installed programs.

Most likely, Ceshautoagh.com got access to your notification settings after displaying a deceptive advertisement for you. Such ads might show up on free movie sites and file download sites and they ask you to press the “Allow” button which might blend in so well with your web browsing flow that you might do it without even thinking.

But it’s also possible that those deceptive ads appear thanks to a malicious browser extension or an adware virus. They might cause a lot of other problems with excessive pop-up ads, too. If you have problems with excessive ads, you might benefit from doing a scan with an anti-malware app, such as Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, etc. If there’s a suspicious app or an infected installer on your device, an anti-malware app could warn you. Even if the detection is just for a “Potentially Unwanted Program”, it’s something that anti-malware vendors thought worth warning users about, something that could potentially cause harm.

Avoid notification hijackers

To prevent future attacks like Ceshautoagh.com’s notification spam (there are many malicious sites like Ceshautoagh.com, such as Riatattere.online, Myniceposts.com, and others), you can do a few things:

• Avoid websites that show ads for Ceshautoagh.com. Pirating, torrenting, free movie streaming sites.
• Block ads. You can use a browser extension for this. Look into ad blockers and pick one that is reputable and has been around for a while.
• Block malicious websites. Anti-malware apps can scan the websites that you visit and block those that are suspicious.
• Disable notification prompts so that your browser won’t show them. You can do this in your browser settings and some browsers already do this by default. Watch out for fake and redundant notification prompts.

Tech companies, like Google, are aware of the problem with browser features being abused. Sometimes, browsers automatically block abusive notifications (Blog.chromium.org). But malicious actors keep coming up with new ways to take advantage of users, so more proactive security tools are always helpful.

Is Ceshautoagh.com dangerous?

Ceshautoagh.com is a website that displays ads to all the browsers that subscribed to its notifications. It can show pop-ups on your screen when your web browser is open. It uses these notifications to display advertisements.

These ads might be harmless, such as ads for an online store, a browser game, or a VPN service.

But some times, the ads are for fake articles promoting trading scams and shady diet pills, fake virus warnings that actually lead to tech support scams, and fake giveaways that end with very deceptive subscription signups. Some of these scams can end up with you losing some money.

And last but not least, notification spam by Ceshautoagh.com can be very annoying. Email spam gets sent to the spam folder and you never have to see it, but notifications are displayed right there on your screen. They’re obnoxious and bad for productivity.
