paymentnotifyfriends.info Pop-ups - How to remove

Paymentnotifyfriends.info is a malicious website used by many advertising networks for the purpose of displaying intrusive sponsored content in the form of push notifications. The website tries to force you into clicking on its integrated “Allow” button. Users may be deceived with tricky alerts claiming that clicking on “Allow” is necessary for watching the video, confirming that you are not a robot of performing the age check.

Unfortunately, fulfilling the instructions by paymentnotifyfriends.info causes browser hijacking and results in permanent intrusive ads to be displayed randomly on your screen. Paymentnotifyfriends.info attacks the majority of browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer. Once its push notifications are activated, users start receiving advertisement banners in the form of rectangular boxes in the right upper or bottom parts of the desktop. Clicking on these ads is strongly not recommended because most likely they will bring you to a lot of other malicious websites.

Security leaks causing paymentnotifyfriends.info infiltration

There are several reasons why the paymentnotifyfriends.info pop-ups are initially displayed. In general, your computer lacks a reliable anti-malware software that would prevent unwanted browser modifications, including the ones caused by paymentnotifyfriends.info.

This website is correctly identified as malicious by several online site scanners, but some anti-viruses simply fail to perform their advertised protecting functions. So, you could unintentionally click on some malicious links through social networks or simply visit some hacked websites that could lead you to the paymentnotifyfriends.info alert. The very fact that you noticed the alert in your screen is not the tragedy yet until you start fulfilling the misleading guidelines mentioned by the pop-up.

Paymentnotifyfriends.info pop-ups can be massively attacking your screen without letting you properly use your browser. When you eventually attempt to close the window or click on the “Block” button instead, you will soon notice another similar alert from one of the associated sub-domains, such as ms-16.paymentnotifyfriends.info, ms-19.paymentnotifyfriends.info, ms-34.paymentnotifyfriends.info and so on. In fact, when the pop-ups are so massive it is quite likely that your computer is contaminated by the adware in control of your browser settings.

So, the adware keeps redirecting you to a lot of websites that can lead you to more dramatic consequences. Your computer may become full of other malicious applications that will cause far more problems than you could even imagine. These are some negative things to expect of the paymentnotifyfriends.info pop-ups:

• switching your browser into full-screen mode without letting you surf the web properly;
• displaying unsolicited pop-up ads, advertisement banners, and other sponsored content;
• redirecting to unsafe websites containing malware;
• forcing you to perform fictitious Adobe Flash Player updates bundled with adware.
