How notification hijackers spread

Ffypretailo.top is advertised online by websites that tend to show unsafe ads. You probably won’t encounter Ffypretailo.top on a reputable news site or a social media site, but you might see it pop up on a free movie website or a monetized URL shortener link.

Sites that advertise Ffypretailo.top tend to show other unsafe ads. If you visit such websites often, it’s advisable to block ads and malicious sites to stay safe.

Once Ffypretailo.top shows up, likely in a new browser tab, it asks you to allow its notifications. It might display a loading video, a robot check, or promise news updates, then ask you to click the “Allow” button.

The “Allow” button is displayed by your browser after Ffypretailo.top requests it. It allows you to subscribe to the current site’s notifications, enabling the website to display messages on your screen. An email client or a social media site might use notifications well, warning you about urgent events in an unobtrusive way. But Ffypretailo.top and many other sites, such as Myniceposts.com or Sbecome.online, only use notifications to show ads to people who have subscribed to their messages.

Problems with notification hijackers

Ffypretailo.top and sites like it show unwanted ads that are annoying, cover up valuable screen space, and distract users from their work. But that’s not the worst thing about it.

The ads shown by notification spammers are always lower quality than ads on reputable websites. If Ffypretailo.top has hijacked your browsers, you can expect some potentially unsafe links to be displayed on your screen:

• links to fake articles advertising diet pills, lucky charms, and various get-rich-quick schemes,
• ads for gambling and betting sites,
• browser hijackers and notification hijackers,
• links to fake giveaways and surveys that lead to phishing sites.

This doesn’t mean that Ffypretailo.top will infect your computer with any malware. Most of the ads it shows are just mildly annoying and not immediately harmful. But some of them lead to sites that deceptively present a subscription service or a trading platform. Such sites might trick you into revealing your private information and signing up for shady services.

How to stop Ffypretailo.top ads

The first thing you can do to stop notification spam is to go into the settings of your browser:

• 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.

Find Ffypretailo.top, other unwanted sites, and set their notifications to Blocked.

You can also block notifications by pressing the Settings button on an unwanted pop-up. You’ll be presented with the option to block all notifications from the specific site.

However, it’s important to note that Ffypretailo.top has many subdomains that can each have their own notification entry and need to be blocked separately. This is faster to do in the settings page than by blocking notifications as they show up.

Besides that, it’s very important to check your device for adware viruses and potentially unwanted programs. Use an antivirus app, such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, or another. Review the apps and browser extensions that you’ve installed lately. Check your Downloads folder, the most recent files for suspicious items and delete them.
