How Oawhaursaith.com works

Promoted on media sites

Other sites have posted about Oawhaursaith.com months earlier. And this site’s traffic is estimated to be falling. But recently, I kept encountering it and thought that it is still relevant.

Oawhaursaith.com is no more than a website. It is advertised on various other sites – file download sites, youtube converters, movie streaming sites, etc. – and it seamlessly blends in by showing pictures of video and audio players. It’s Oawhaursaith.com’s strategy to confuse and trick people into thinking that they’re looking at the same site – when Oawhaursaith.com is actually an advertisement.

Then, after gaining that unearned trust, Oawhaursaith.com says to “Press Allow” to continue watching or to download a file. The allow button, in this case, is part of the notification pop-up that the browser shows. If you click it, then the browser notes in its settings to listen to Oawhaursaith.com when it sends a message and to display it as a pop-up in the corner of your browser.

Shows potentially dangerous ads

Oawhaursaith.com uses these messages to show various ads right in your browser:

• Get-rich-quick schemes and cryptocurrency trading platforms.
• Adult dating, chatting sites (having your browser being spammed with NSFW links might be inconvenient).
• Diet pills and various other medical products of dubious reputation and quality. Usually, they’re described in detail with personal experiences and expert testimony but none of that is verifiable in any way.
• Various PC and Mac optimizers, cleaners, driver updaters, and other programs that aren’t recommended to use.
• Giveaways and surveys that promise a free prize only to steal people’s data, like Answertounlock.com.
• Other notification spammers, like Thenewstreams.com.

Despite having no valuable content whatsoever, Oawhaursaith.com makes money as an advertisement platform, how about that. And since it has no reputation to uphold, it’s free to deal with all advertisers, including those who want to show objectionable, harmful, or malicious content. There are many people whose products are banned or restricted by the big advertising networks and who turn to sites like Oawhaursaith.com. Oawhaursaith.com itself is advertised on websites that are too controversial for normal ad-networks to work with. This may explain why controversial sites (adult content and piracy, usually) are usually full of malicious ads.

How to stop ads by Oawhaursaith.com

Oawhaursaith.com delivers its pop-up ads through notifications. The way to stop it is to block notifications from Oawhaursaith.com in your browser. To revoke that permission that you gave Oawhaursaith.com by clicking that “Allow” button:

• Chrome – type “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
• Edge (Chromium) – type “edge://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.

Find where Oawhaursaith.com’s address is. Next to it, there should be a three-dot button that opens a menu with the option to Block it or Remove it. Choose Block – this prevents Oawhaursaith.com from talking to your browser via notifications again.

You might also want to scan your computer with an antivirus program, like Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others. Check that you haven’t downloaded any suspicious files and that there are no malicious add-ons in your browser. As Oawhaursaith.com advertises some junkware, this is something that you need to be careful of.
