How to remove Video-call.live notification spam

Block the ads as they appear

Video-call.live is a website like any other. If it’s sending messages to your browser, it must be on your browser’s list of sites that are allowed to send notifications.

One way to bock them is by clicking the settings icon on one of the unwanted ads.

But there’s a problem: Video-call.live is not just one site, it is a collection of many websites – hundreds of subdomains with random names like ab2cd.video-call.live and 7fd8gl.video-call.live. If your browser got infected by multiple instances, blocking them one-by-one might not practical.

Disable notification spam in browser settings

Both desktop and mobile users can block notifications from unwanted sites. Open your browser’s settings and block the spam from there:

• Chrome – open Settings, scroll down to Site settings (under Privacy and security), click on Notifications.
• Edge (Chromium) – open Settings, click Site Permissions, Notifications.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.

Look for Video-call.live, but also for any unfamiliar site addresses. If you don’t use the quieter notifications interface, it’s incredibly easy to accidentally subscribe to notifications. So, block or remove all unwanted sites.

Remove malware

Scan your computer with Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, or another antivirus program that you trust.

To block malicious websites and to protect your device from malware, it is advised to use an anti-malware program. Keep it up-to-date and turn on real-time protection. If a good web filter is included in your antivirus program, it should help you stay safe even if you visit shady websites.

How Video-call.live works

It hijacks notifications

Video-call.live is very similar to Check-me.online, Check-now.online, Chat-message.live, and other notification spammers. It is advertised on pirate sites, file-hosting sites, and promoted by adware viruses. It gets people to subscribe to its notifications by throwing out obnoxious pop-ups that lock up the browser and simply by lying.

For example, when Video-call.live shows the notification subscription prompt that is required for it to get access to your browser, it does not say “Click allow to be flooded with unwanted ads”. Instead, it lies to its visitors:

• “Click Allow to prove that you are not a robot”
• “Press Allow to play the video”
• “Click Allow to close this page”

How are people supposed to know that Video-call.live is an advertising site and not a spammer? It is difficult to know if you haven’t dealt with notification hijackers before.

It shows unsafe ads

The ads that Video-call.live shows may not be easy to avoid as some advertisers design their pop-ups to look like social media notifications, missed calls and messages, or even security warnings.

You may have noticed already that the pop-up ads that Video-call.lives shows sometimes lead to risky websites – sites for betting and gambling, fake surveys and giveaways, articles praising tech gadgets and medical items from unknown companies.

For example, gambling ads may not be suitable for some people, and yet they’re ubiquitous on spammers like Video-call.live. In addition, fake giveaways either lead to subscription sites or reward sites, both of which can result in financial harm.

As these ads often lead to scams or risky sites, it’s important to be careful of them.
