Usecytonsmehers.info Pop-ups - How to remove

Usecytonsmehers.info is a malicious website which aggressively pushed ads to unwilling people. Not only are the ads intrusive, but some of them are dishonest and dangerous.

Usecytonsmehers.info abuses push notifications to deliver unsolicited ads. Normally, a person who allows push notifications does so because they expect that the notifications will show relevant updates. But sites like Usecytonsmehers.info abuse this system to show ads to unwilling users. Beside the pop-ups, Usecytonsmehers.info can be used to direct people to random promoted websites. Sometimes you can catch “usecytonsmehers.info” in the address bar before ending up on an unrelated webpage — that’s Usecytonsmehers.info redirecting you there.

This ad-pushing service is used by various aggressive marketers who want to be able to advertise freely. Normal advertising networks come up with various rules to protect people from seeing ads which might advertise malware, scams, or otherwise hurt them. If a marketer is being restricted by an advertising network and they’re not concerned about ethics too much, they might decide to work with Usecytonsmehers.info.

How Usecytonsmehers.info ads can be harmful

Not all products that use Usecytonsmehers.info are deceptive or somehow malicious; some are completely legitimate. But there are Usecytonsmehers.info ads and redirects which lead to content that some people will find questionable and even unsafe:

• Scams. A lot of the pages that use Usecytonsmehers.info are advertising shady investment schemes that require an initial investment. They decorate their advertising pages with fake testimonies and place them in spoofed sites to make them look more legitimate.
• Browser hijackers. A lot of the pages that Usecytonsmehers.info promotes are browser extensions that serve as a mild form of adware. They replace the browser’s search engine to be able to inject ads into the search results and profit from advertising.
• Malware and potentially unwanted software. Sometimes Usecytonsmehers.info sends people to pages that promote suspicious or malicious programs. Installing them without knowing what they are could cause issues and grief in the future.
• Content that probably shouldn’t be advertised to minors. Sometimes borderline adult imagery is used on the thumbnails (though Usecytonsmehers.info mostly directs those ads to pages with no adult content, so it’s not too bad). Some gambling sites are advertised, too, and they’re supposed to be restricted from children.

These ads by Usecytonsmehers.info can affect victims negatively in a variety of ways:

• Annoying —  even if you were interested in the advertisements, they repeat a lot, and many different thumbnails lead to the same destination. So the ads are really unlikely to be valuable.
• Affect productivity negatively. Almost all ads hurt productivity, but the ones pushed by Usecytonsmehers.info are worse than normal ads. The pop-ups cover up space on the desktop and the redirects break people’s workflow. Time is wasted dismissing Usecytonsmehers.info’s ads and regaining focus.
• Usecytonsmehers.info’s ads threaten privacy. Almost all marketers track people to be able to personalize the ads. But Usecytonsmehers.info takes privacy threats to a new level by enabling phishing sites. By phishing sites I mean the websites that are created to mimic the look of another page, like the login page of, for example, Instagram. People who are directed there might type in their username and password, and this information is sent to a cybercriminal. The various shady websites that Usecytonsmehers.info promotes that require registration (including credit card info!) to access a trial are suspicious, too. Your private data should only be given to parties that you trust to keep it safe. There have been incidents when user information was leaked and the company didn’t tell anyone.
• Usecytonsmehers.info’s redirects might cost money and cause stress. For example, fake security warnings successfully trick some people to contact scammers who charge them hundreds of dollars for fake security software.

How the ads started

Usecytonsmehers.info can be found in low-quality ads on shady websites. These ads are difficult to avoid, and can seemingly be triggered by accident. Usecytonsmehers.info can also be opened by an adware program. If adware has infected your computer, it will probably use your browser to open Usecytonsmehers.info, among other more or less malicious websites.

The visitors of Usecytonsmehers.info are manipulated into accepting notifications. If you don’t, then even if you end up on Usecytonsmehers.info, you won’t see the pop-up ads. And Usecytonsmehers.info only starts redirecting to promoted websites after notifications are allowed.

Adware sites employ a few similar tricks to achieve this. The page you first see of Usecytonsmehers.info says “Please tap the Allow button to continue”.  Redtext.biz asks people to click “allow” to confirm that they’re not a robot. Webload.world pretends that it’s downloading a file. If someone does press the button, Usecytonsmehers.info starts pushing the pop-ups.

How to stop Usecytonsmehers.info ads

Notifications from Usecytonsmehers.info can be blocked manually, by going to your browser settings. But if there is adware on your computer, you might need the help of some antivirus to get rid of it. If you don’t, more malicious sites could be pushed to you in the future. Spyhunter could be used to catch malware lurking on your machine.
