Methinkhaitid.club pop-up - How to remove

Methinkhaitid.club is an annoying pop-up window that appears on your browser unexpectedly and aims to get your voluntary permission to flood your search engine with online ads, redirects, more pop-ups, and scams. Obviously, no one would agree to such conditions, therefore Methinkhaitid.club simply asks to ‘Show notifications’, just like any legitimate page, without giving away details about further malicious consequences.

Pop-ups have been around for a couple decades, but just recently became an extremely popular online marketing method and not just for crooks. Actually, the success behind Methinkhaitid.club and other notification viruses is based on victims’ misjudgment of the malicious site, thinking that it is a regular web page which simply wants to directly connect and post news, updates and etc., therefore they enable pop-ups. But most users immediately regret because Methinkhaitid.club pop-up quickly misuses the given authorization and redirects to either scam pages, sponsored offers or Malvertises.

Despite Methinkhaitid.club pop-up demonstrating all of those negative behavior patterns, that does not mean that all notifications are bad and must be blocked. There is a way to disable Methinkhaitid.club alerts while still getting messages from your favorite websites and in this article, we’ll give you directions how to do so, as well as the basic information about the virus.

What is Methinkhaitid.club pop-up

As you’ve just learned, Methinkhaitid.club is a pop-up malware. That means that just like any other notification, such as Hotchedmothe.club, Omumultation.club, Omgnews.today and etc., this website isn’t designed to infect your PC/Mac as a typical virus, but rather get enough authorization to slightly control the content victim sees online. Injected malicious scripts are not as notorious and rogue as browser hijackers’, which change the search engine and default settings, but they are enough to place third-party links in places where they were not supposed to be.

Methinkhaitid.club pop-up needs the consent of the victim so the scripts would be activated and that legally the user couldn’t blame the developers for something that oneself agreed to voluntarily. That is why the invasive Methinkhaitid.club notifications don’t stop bothering you, asking to click that ‘Allow’ button. Once the permission is granted, you instantly get diverted to some other site, which is from a sponsoring third-party. Online marketing is the main way Methinkhaitid.club virus profits the developers.

Our researchers during the analysis of Methinkhaitid.club virus, depending on the used browser, were rerouted to Chrome Web Store with dubious extensions, such as Mega Movies Search, ViewMyPdf, MP3 Video Converter, SD App (Searchprivacyplus.com), Moocauby.com and 10-new.amazondeals.com Scams to win the new iPhone X, also some Affiliate services and products like homepros.zone. These apps and ads were mostly based on the IP location of your computer, but also randomly generated by redirect viruses – Gsafe.getawesome3.com, Getlnk6.com, and Bestabid.com.

Because the malevolent behavior begins only after the click on the presented box, not many antivirus programs, according to Virustotal.com, detect the Methinkhaitid.club pop-up website as suspicious. However, after the invasion, situation flips over and sophisticated anti-spyware tools start blocking redirects and push notifications. This just proves that no matter how good is your security software common sense and awareness online is very important for the overall safety. But even if Methinkhaitid.club alerts are already in your system, there are ways to remove them avoiding further problems.

How does Methinkhaitid.club virus spread

The more user this pop-up can infect, the more affiliate links it can post, meaning a greater revenue, therefore it gets really persistent and tries various ways to increase its own popularity. Some methods include just disseminating under the disguise of eye-catching banners on various websites (not necessarily shady ones) but also being spread by potentially unwanted programs and adware. The latter malicious software, like MyCouponsmart, HidenGate, MgDisk, is more complicated yet can do more, therefore for a certain price, they can distribute other viruses like Methinkhaitid.club pop-ups too.

Unfortunately, it is hard to tell which way Methinkhaitid.club virus found your system as a target. Typically, adware caused pop-ups can be seen each time during your browsing sessions no matter what page you are on, and as for the accidental redirects, they tend to occur on the same domains, and only when going to an infected page. Because of that, you must check both Control Panel and browser’s plugins, whether there is some unwanted application that could have sneaked in a bundle of some other program, which you set up in a Recommended mode, without even checking if there are any additional software which will be installed by the default. Freeware sites and torrents are known for these mischievous tricks.

How to stop Methinkhaitid.club notifications

As we said, pop-ups can be a good thing, but if you select carefully, and unfortunately, Methinkhaitid.club is not the one to keep. 2-viruses.com team has made the whole article on how to disable web push notifications for every web browser, with options to block them all or just certain ones, therefore depending on your situation, read the article and choose your ways to stop Methinkhaitid.club virus from ever appearing again.

However, just stopping the pop-ups doesn’t mean that the system is clean and safe to use. Since it is hard to tell which way Methinkhaitid.club pop-ups entered your computer, the best thing would be to run a professional anti-malware software scan of the full system and check if there aren’t any secret harming threats generating notifications, bringing more malware and causing your system to run slow. We recommend Spyhunter and Malwarebytes as two trustworthy security programs which will take care Methinkhaitid.club pop-ups and other dangerous files too.
