What is Poxaharap.com

Unfair advertising site

Poxaharap.com is a website, but it doesn’t really have any content. It has a few static pages telling you to allow notifications, a few images, and scripts that redirect to other sites.

Ultimately, Poxaharap.com is made solely for redirecting to sites that paid to be promoted by Poxaharap.com. It’s like advertising – except it doesn’t come with any valuable content, is shown to you against your will, and doesn’t seem to fit any ethical or security standards. The pejorative term is “adware”.

Poxaharap.com’s operators make money by showing the kinds of ads that normal advertising networks have banned. They get a nice profit as they don’t have to create any content to attract users. And they don’t particularly care if they put you and other victims of Poxaharap.com in danger.

Dangerous ads

I’m not joking when I say that the ads that Poxaharap.com shows are dangerous or harmful. Scam sites trick visitors into giving up their full names, addresses, and credit card numbers – and then use that data to sign people up for overpriced services to, basically, steal their money. Ads for get-rich-quick schemes trick people into “investing” hundreds of dollars into a hopeless scam. These and similar schemes are promoted by sites like Poxaharap.com.

Other ads by Poxaharap.com are far less dangerous but still annoying. Poxaharap.com promotes various browser hijackers, like StreamMe, LivePDFConverter, and ProPDFConverter. These apps get attached to your browser and try to control how you search the internet. They redirect you to affiliated sites that make money for the people responsible for Poxaharap.com.

How Poxaharap.com infiltrated your browser

You can encounter Poxaharap.com on file download sites, pirating websites, free streaming portals, and similar websites. Poxaharap.com shows fake age check screens, fake file download prompts, warnings about you using VPN, and other messages that all end with telling you to click the “Allow” button. Poxaharap.com is made in a way to look like part of the site you were on previously. When you’re redirected to Poxaharap.com, you may not even realize you’re on a new site.

The “Allow” button that Poxaharap.com wants you to click refers to a button on the notifications prompt. This prompt appears on sites that wish to share notifications and the “Allow” button allows them. Notifications are the little pop-up messages that a site can send you whenever your browser is open. Poxaharap.com abuses them to send you unwanted ads.

Stopping ads from Poxaharap.com

To stop Poxaharap.com from sending you pop-up ads, you first need to open your browser settings and find the section where notifications are managed. Then find “poxaharap.com”, click the options next to it, and block/disable this site from bothering you again:

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

How to disable Web Push Notifications.

This doesn’t stop Poxaharap.com from appearing again, and it doesn’t stop any of the other malicious sites, like Soonersupor.pro or Gotwidores.info, from infecting your browser. You may want to use an anti-malware program that can block malicious sites.

You can also use an anti-malware program, like Spyhunter for Windows or Combo Cleaner for macOS, to scan your computer and check for malicious programs. Poxaharap.com advertises a ton of malware, so it might be good to check if you got any.
