Videojosmooth.com Pop-up - How to remove

Videojosmooth.com is a pop-up message that will appear on your browser asking for you to agree to ‘Show Notifications’. If you give the permission to this pop-up request, then soon after that you may start seeing excessive advertisements in your browser and on your desktop too. This is because the Videojosmooth.com pop-up is a consequence of an adware virus that you already have installed in your computer. Videojosmooth.com virus is not that dangerous and can be solved pretty easy if noticed at the beginning of infection.

Pop-ups like Videojosmooth.com are usually always closely related with an adware so that should be the main cause that you should be looking for in order to stop the annoying notifications and ads. Furthermore, if you won’t remove it can end up completely hijacking your browser/system and installing more notorious viruses like ransomware or trojans. There is nothing beneficial from keeping Videojosmooth.com virus annoying you further, therefore, we will demonstrate in this article how to remove it in a few different ways.

What is Videojosmooth.com pop-up notification

Videojosmooth.com pop-up is a browser message, that sometimes users refer to as ‘Show Notifications’ virus, which suddenly pops up when compromised users are surfing the net. The plain page opens up saying in big letters ‘Just one more step! Allow to continue’ and a small box with the suggestion to agree with further notifications comes up at the top left side of the page below URL. It is very important that you do not press this box or else your computer will be compromised even more. You may have heard about the viruses that work in a similar manner such as Clksite.com, Mobi.Trkerrr.net pop-up, Adexchangegate.com and etc.

Videojosmooth.com displays third-party content and promotions only if you allow. The truth is that these ads can contain malware and even after one accidental click it can be downloaded to your PC. Some people report that they experienced Videojosmooth.com generating offers and messages straight to their desktop, which means that the pop-up virus is more intrusive than expected. Videojosmooth.com displays notifications because it allows crooks to execute javascript codes and to inject Mozilla, Chrome or Edge with even more advertisements than the current PUP or adware does, also to track the users browsing habits, record credentials, credit cards info, change browser settings and etc.

Malvertising, browsing hijacking, redirecting, data gathering and reselling/reusing personal info is one of the main ways that Videojosmooth.com developers are earning their revenue. They can sell collected information to marketing companies, that will use your browsing habits for targeted advertising and allow anyone who pays them well to place their ads for you to see, adjust the content /redirect users to increase the traffic to some websites and etc. So if you do not want to risk your privacy and virtual safety then please keep reading to learn how to remove this irritating virus.

Why is Videojosmooth.com pop-up appearing

At times Videojosmooth.com pop-up can appear if you end up clicking on a malicious website that redirects you to Videojosmooth.com page itself with hopes that you will give an access to compromise your PC. But usually it is not the case and the reason why Videojosmooth.com is showing up is worse than you think – another virus or potentially unwanted program that has been in your computer for an unknown time. Videojosmooth.com has to spread with a separate program because it is a very small virus and would not be able to do much because it would need additional features to modify computers protection, browser settings and etc.

If you are the person who uses Freeware distributing sites, illegal torrents, shady websites or DarkWeb then most likely you have accidentally downloaded a malware together with the popular program that you were trying to install originally. These type of viruses hide in Setup wizards as a default addition to the main software and if you do not select the Custom install where you can change which programs you want to bring to your PC then for sure you’ll end up with an adware that will result in Videojosmooth.com notifications.
