videofileconvertpro.xyz uses deception and social engineering to trick people to allow pop-up ads by saying that the content cannot be displayed properly if the “Allow” button is not clicked on. videofileconvertpro.xyz shows an animation that imitates a loading video and uses lines like “Your video is ready” and “Click here! To start streaming your video”, but other rogue sites use slightly different strategies, like passing a captcha (Robotcaptcha.info) or confirming that you are an adult (Lodder.club).
Being constantly directed to videofileconvertpro.xyz is a sign that your computer might be infected with adware, which should be removed with an antivirus program as soon as possible.
Why are you seeing videofileconvertpro.xyz ads?
You must have visited videofileconvertpro.xyz to start receiving ads from it. If you were referred to videofileconvertpro.xyz by shady websites and if you haven’t been seeing redirects and excessive ads before now, then editing your browser settings should be enough to get rid of videofileconvertpro.xyz ads. However, if you were linked there by adware, it would be best to find and remove any software that is showing you ads and messing with your browser.
After finding yourself on videofileconvertpro.xyz, you would have seen a video loading endlessly. The video is fake and is meant to trick people to click on “Allow” on the notifications alert — this would give videofileconvertpro.xyz permission to push ads to you. Notifications can be very useful if you want to be updated on something relevant. For example, receiving a notification about a new email is very useful. But, if abused, notifications turn into pop-up ads.
If you are constantly being directed to videofileconvertpro.xyz, the site would constantly redirect you to its sponsor sites (those can also be thought of as ads). This happening regularly, especially if it happens without your input, is definitely another symptom of some aggressive adware.
Are the ads dangerous?
Some, though not all, ads that videofileconvertpro.xyz pushes are definitely dangerous.
Two types of websites that videofileconvertpro.xyz advertises that I want to highlight:
- Scams
- Malware
Scam websites range from shady pyramid scheme investment advertising pages, to useless products with fake testimonies swooning over them being sold for exorbitant prices, to video streaming services charging people’s credit cards despite promising a free trial (and even after canceling). Yet another type of scam is a tech support scam, which can cost its victims not only hundreds of dollars, but also their private information. And let’s not forget Phishing sites — they can steal your login credentials if you type them in, which can end in cybercriminals hijacking your accounts.
Malware pages come in a few flavours. One is where a file is hosted on the page, and people are encouraged to download it. It can be something as simple as FunnyPicture.jpg or Archive.zip; if you download the file and try to open it, you’d end up running an executable instead. Other sites advertise PUPs, fake hardware optimisers, and scareware that, at best, try to sell you a fake product and, at worst, try to install Trojans or more adware. Lastly, some sites host stealthy crypto miners.
Remove videofileconvertpro.xyz ads
In order to get rid of the pop-up ads, you need to revoke notification permissions that you gave to the sites that put out these ads. So, not only videofileconvertpro.xyz, but any other sites that are suspicious. Go to the settings of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or whichever browser you use to stop videofileconvertpro.xyz from pushing the ads.
To check if it is adware that caused you to go to videofileconvertpro.xyz in the first place (and probably to see more ads), scan your computer with Spyhunter, or another professional antivirus program. Then, if any malicious programs are found, remove them.
