How to stop Webout.life ads and redirects
If Webout.life is spamming your screen with pop-ups, it must be using notifications. To stop the ads, you need to revoke notification permissions from all Webout.life sites. You can find notification settings like this:
- 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.
Here, you can manage notification permissions. There are two lists of sites – those that you’ve allowed to send notifications to your browser, and those that you’ve blocked.
Webout.life has a lot of different subdomains with Webout.life’s address preceded by a string of random numbers and letters, like 12345.webout.life. All of their notifications need to be blocked. As do the notifications of other unknown websites and sites that you don’t want to receive pop-ups from. With how easy it is to allow notifications by accident, don’t be surprised if you find unknown addresses there.
Click the button next to each Webout.life address. This will bring up a little menu with options to Remove and Block/Deny the site. Choose the Block option – this will stop the site from sending any more pop-up ads.
Scan your computer with an antivirus program (Combo Cleaner for Mac, Spyhunter for PC, others) to check it for infections (adware, malware, and potentially unwanted programs, browser hijackers). Remove the malware if any is found.
How Webout.life hijacks browsers
Webout.life is a website, but it’s not exactly normal. It does two things:
- ask people to allow its notifications,
- send notification ads to all the browsers it can.
Webout.life is basically online adware. Its notifications are like spam emails, only much more annoying.
Notification spam got to be a big problem, with sites like Install.notify-service.com, Reclick.club, Promodayz.com, and many, many others spamming browsers with malicious and dangerous ads. Browser developers started hiding notification pop-ups to make it harder for notification spam to spread. Make sure that you’re using the latest version of your web browser to take advantage of features like that, as well as various security features and fixes.
Webout.life gets advertised via pop-up ads and redirects. It’s promoted by various sites on which its template pages would make sense, mostly on file hosting and pirating sites. Someone might be trying to maybe download an illegitimate version of some game or another program and see Webout.life open on their screen.
Webout.life has a bunch of templates that it uses to trick people:
- a CAPTCHA,
- a Download button,
- an image or an animation depicting a loading video.
These templates make sense for the sites that advertise Webout.life. Some people might not even realize that they’re on a different site. And when Webout.life asks them to click that “Allow” button, they might do it without giving it much thought. Unfortunately, this is enough for Webout.life to start spamming their screen.
There are some other ways for Webout.life to appear, such as redirects by infected websites, suspicious links in private messages, shady links under Youtube videos, etc.
it is also possible that adware or another malicious program changed browser notification settings to enable the Webout.life ads.
Dangers of the ad spam
Webout.life’s ads can attack any device that supports a browser: desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and phones. The ads appear as little pop-ups in the corner or the top of the screen and link to the advertised sites. While some of Webout.life’s ads are safe, many are deceptive and potentially dangerous.
Some of the ads are disguised to look like another site’s notifications. I’ve often seen notification spam made to look like various social media messages. For example, a random malicious site’s notifications are designed to look like Instagram’s, Facebook’s, or another trusted site’s. They usually advertise expensive adult chat services and deceptive subscriptions.
There are also fake software updates and virus warnings. Scareware and tech support scams like Fastsupport. They’re run by scammers who sell overpriced and useless “support” while impersonating trusted companies.
And, of course, Webout.life advertises other spammer sites. Likely, Webout.life won’t last long as more and more security services and ad-blockers blacklist it. But new malicious sites will take its place. So, be careful and remember – don’t accept notifications from random websites.
