Checking-in-progress.com Redirect Virus - How to remove

Checking-in-progress.com may unexpectedly start attacking your browser with very intrusive advertisement banners and pop-up ads containing sponsored links to random webpages. The behavior of checking-in-progress.com is very similar to shsharemssc.info, bodcall.com, and verytearfoilew.info. If you have discovered this website to be active in your browser, do not neglect to fix the problem immediately. It is malicious due to interconnection with many other dangerous resources to which it can easily redirect you.

Checking-in-progress.com primarily attacks Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. What it does is similar to browser hijacking. Checking-in-progress.com attempts to force you into enabling its web push notifications by displaying several misleading alerts, for example:

• press “Allow” to confirm that you’re not a robot;
• click on “Allow” to verify you’re 18+;
• just one more step. “Allow” to continue;
• please tap the “Allow” button to continue.

What happens when you click on “Allow”

Knowing the answer to this question is very important. It will prevent you from making the mistake. When checking-in-progress.com notification initially comes up it does not yet cause any damage. However, problems occur when people start fulfilling their misleading and deceptive instructions. Clicking on the “Allow” button gives checking-in-progress.com a chance to begin its illegal activities. It starts periodically bombarding your screen with the following intrusive alerts:

• small rectangular boxes in the right upper part of the browser;
• large advertisement banners in the bottom section of the screen;
• uncontrolled redirections to random websites.

The aim of checking-in-progress.com is to forward you to the multitude of supported webpages. There is a specific advertising company that is responsible for checking-in-progress.com hijacking. The activity of this website generates the revenue for this company, so the more browsers are hijacked, the more profit it gets. Redirections described above do not lead to genuine resources. The wide range of these sponsored websites are malicious and may cause even greater damage to your computer.

Checking-in-progress.com is also directly involved in spying over your activities while you surf the web. For example, it gathers the information about your search queries directly made through the search box. It analyzes the queries you submit through the websites you visit. It may even access the details in your browsing history. There are many other things checking-in-progress.com can do that can be summarized under the term of “spyware”. The information it collects may be easily sold to third-party companies in an absolutely illegal way, so you definitely should terminate all the negative activities by checking-in-progress.com website.

How to remove checking-in-progress.com for good

Blocking checking-in-progress.com is not a big deal. Of course, it would be much better if you didn’t authorize its pop-ups in the first place, however, even after the mistake was made there is a way to fix it. You need to access your browser menu and perform the following steps:

• In Mozilla Firefox, click on “Preferences” and in Google Chrome, select “Settings”;
• look for “Privacy & Security” in Firefox and “Site Settings” in Chrome;
• find the section responsible for notifications;
• locate checking-in-progress.com and delete it from the list.

The instructions for other websites are basically the same. Following the guidelines mentioned above should fix the problem.

We recommend you to carefully follow this guide explaining how to fix other computer-related problems in an automatic way with the help of either Spyhunter.
