Heckcallohertons.info Pop-ups - How to remove

Heckcallohertons.info pop-ups attack Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and other popular browsers. The website is included in the list of the resources used by several advertising networks for displaying unsolicited pop-up spam campaigns through injecting push notifications into the aforesaid browsers. Redirections by heckcallohertons.info may eventually bring you to tons of absolutely malicious websites promoting other potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), dubious browser extensions, adware, and more serious threats. Removing heckcallohertons.info is the only correct decision.

Heckcallohertons.info pop-ups are very similar to armelacronket.pro, paymentnotifyfriends.info, and redtext.biz. The similarity is in their ability to inject into browsers by forcing people to click on the “Allow” button. All these websites are also identical considering their impact on the browsers after users mistakenly fulfill the misleading instructions they display.

Heckcallohertons.info tricky warnings

Once the heckcallohertons.info pop-up comes up for the first time in your browser it gives you some tricky messages in order to persuade you to click on the “Allow” button. This is the typical alert the pop-up displays:

Heckcallohertons.info wants to Show notifications Press tap the Allow button to continue

The pop-up may use some other misleading tricks to explain why it is necessary to click on the button, for example, to watch a certain video, verify your age or confirm that you are not a robot. Sometimes people think that nothing bad will happen because of that, so they eventually agree and click on “Allow”. Once this is done, the heckcallohertons.info pop-ups become fully injected into browsers. People start permanently encountering the multitude of such alerts to be randomly displayed on the screen.

Is heckcallohertons.info a safe website

Unfortunately, there is no decent information that can be delivered through heckcallohertons.info. The website will display the multitude of advertisement banners in the form of rectangular boxes, or small ads in the right part of your desktop. The pop-ups contain hyperlinks leading to third-party resources promoted by several advertising networks. Clicking on these links may forward you to the following insecure resources:

• fake online lotteries, surveys, and questionnaires aiming to collect your personal information;
• misleading alerts instructing to update Adobe Flash Player, Java or other software;
• websites involved in online scam (fake tech support pop-ups);
• landing pages of PUPs (potentially unwanted programs).

Heckcallohertons.info is directly involved in tracking your browsing activities. It regularly supervises over your browsing activities. It keeps records of the search queries your submit through your browser, it collects the information about your search preferences, visited URLs, geographic locations, etc. All this data may be illegally manipulated or even sold to third parties. It may even be granted into the hands of online criminals who may attempt to inject other malware into your computer.

You probably realize by this time that clicking on the “Allow” button was a mistake that led to the negative consequences mentioned above.
