Ettotropsinhi.info works in a manner identical to opetiv.com, hetontbetca.info, and erowredsigo.info. Their negative impact on the browser was described in our previous articles. The similarity that unites these websites is revealed in their intrusive behavior attempting to force people to enable the web push notifications. We have to admit that the function of push notifications is legitimate in many cases. For example, some commercial websites offer this service for people to be timely notified about new items in stock. Let’s suppose that you’re looking for a brand new laptop and know the particular online store that can sell it at the best price. However, the laptop is not delivered to the store yet, so the website suggests you to enable its notifications to immediately let you know when it is available. Similarly, some email providers like Hotmail allow its customers to be warned about new mail arrival by enabling web push notifications. This service is very convenient, however, ettotropsinhi.info works in a totally different way.
Intrusive behavior of ettotropsinhi.info
Ettotropsinhi.info actually misuses the beneficial functionality of web push notifications. It tries to force people to click on its “Allow” button by providing people with absolutely misleading statements, for example:
Checking your browser.
To access the website, click “Allow”
Sometimes the pop-up says that clicking on “Allow” is necessary for verifying your age, confirming that you are not a robot or for initiating specific download process of some important file. These are the tricks that are absolutely faulty and deceptive.
Ettotropsinhi.info is also able to switch your browser into the full-screen mode preventing you from opening other browser tabs to investigate the issue more thoroughly. If you click on the “Block” button instead, another pop-up will be delivered from one of the subdomains related to ettotropsinhi.info. Obeying its dubious instructions leads to browser hijacking. It may affect all popular browsers, however, the virus primarily targets Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

It is worth saying that when the ettotropsinhi.info pop-up comes up initially it does not cause any negative effect on your browser, except for distracting you from important work.

Ettotropsinhi.info starts permanently attacking your screen with its unsolicited ads, banners and intrusive pop-ups containing links to various shady websites. It is quite unlikely that ettotropsinhi.info will help you find what you look for. Instead, you may be redirected to the following low-quality resources:
- fake alerts demanding update of Adobe Flash Player, Java or other software not required for your device;
- numerous surveys, questionnaires, lotteries or pseudo-money-winning schemes;
- landing pages of third-party browser extensions (search hijackers);
- rogue security software installers.
