HDCheck.pro Malware - How to remove

The HDCheck.pro problem is the form of a ’social that aims to persuade people into subscribing to its intrusive push notifications. Once the subscription is made, users will start receiving a wide range of unsolicited spam ads in various corners of the screen. HDCheck.pro notifications are similar to ecopalorony.info, pertonthati.info, and renseddowntinti.info.

HDCheck.pro push notification is not a virus, however, it is a clear sign of your browser to be hijacked. The amendments introduced by HDCheck.pro cause a lot of negative experiences for people. Once its notifications are enabled, there will be an ongoing display of advertisement banners, pop-ups and sponsored links by HDCheck.pro. Normally, the websites promoted this way are not safe and may cause more serious troubles to happen with your computer.

Why is HDCheck.pro dangerous

The HDCheck.pro notifications use tricky methods to make you obey the misleading instructions. The alerts will be presented as an age check. So, the website will show the faulty message claiming that you need to click on the “Allow” button supposedly to prove that you are at least 18 years old. In reality, by doing so you will automatically enable intrusive push notifications and will start encountering unsolicited pop-up advertisements by HDCheck.pro on your screen even in times when your browser is not open. The misleading alert by HDCheck.pro gives this tricky information:

HDCheck.pro wants to Show notifications
If you are 18+, click Allow

What exactly happens after the “Allow” button is clicked

We already mentioned that HDCheck.pro will start displaying its ads beyond your control, but there are a lot of other dangerous things that may be happening in your browser as a result of that. For example, HDCheck.pro will be regularly spying over your browsing activities. It will track every search query you submit through the browser and will collect this information. Additionally, it will transfer this data to third-parties for various illegal goals. Online frauds may eventually obtain this data about your browsing habits and start easily manipulating it. It is obvious that HDCheck.pro performs spying functions in your computer, which undermines the safety of your personal information.

While HDCheck.pro pop-ups are displayed randomly the browser will not be functioning properly. Most likely there will be several pop-up windows open simultaneously, thus there will be a high load on your system because of that. It might be different on your computer, but according to the feedback of our customers, they experienced problems of high CPU usage because of HDCheck.pro notifications enabled in the browser.

How to get rid of HDCheck.pro

When talking of HDCheck.pro removal it is a good idea to first research how to prevent these notifications from being initially displayed. The very first occurrence of the alert most likely was produced as a result of you visiting some malicious link on the web. You could either click on some suspicious website that redirected you to HDCheck.pro, or there was adware enabled in your computer that caused the redirection. At any rate, you ought to be careful when surfing the Internet. Visit only legitimate places to download the programs. Do not refer to the help of P2P (peer-to-peer) networks. Many of them have malware integrated into their cracked software.

Examine the list of the programs installed on your computer. Go to the Control Panel, sort the applications according to the date of their installation. If you discover any suspicious utilities, remove them right away. In addition, access the settings of your browser and check its Content Settings (for Google Chrome) or Privacy & Security (for Mozilla Firefox) section. Check the “Notifications” sub-section. If you locate HDCheck.pro in the list, delete it.

Disabling HDCheck.pro push notifications manually as explained above should fix the problems. However, this does not mean that the adware causing them will be removed as well. You need to perform a thorough scanning of your computer with Spyhunter to analyze how safe and clean your computer is. This will remove all other potentially unwanted programs that may slow down your system.
