Opetiv.com works very similar to hetontbetca.info, erowredsigo.info and many other websites with the domain names that do not make any sense. The reason why many browsers are so actively attacked by opetiv.com is that currently there are very few security programs that property mark the website as malicious.

Opetiv.com misleading alerts

This particular website looks similar to a YouTube video. It may contain some tricky statements that the video is definitely good to be watched, however, to do that you need to click on a special “Allow” button integrated into opetiv.com. You may also notice its “Block” button, however, choosing this option will open one of the subdomains related opetiv.com. This will continue happening until you eventually decide to choose the “Allow” option. In some other instances, opetiv.com could indicate that this needs to be done in order to prove that you are not a robot or to verify your age, for example, to confirm that you are 18+.

Clicking on the “Allow” is definitely not a good idea. We dare to say that obeying the instructions by opetiv.com may result in very bad consequences in the short or long run. Fulfilling the commands by this misleading site results in the hijacking of your browser with unsolicited web push notifications.
