What is Thenlighmetanna.pro

People rerouted to Thenlighmetanna.pro will be requested to permit notifications. Essentially, it’s a social engineering attack that aims to make money by subjecting users to ads. Recently, there has been an increase in these kinds of attempts. People are most commonly rerouted to the page by ad-supported software or the site they were on, and then an alert pops up, asking for authorization to show alerts. If people agree, their desktops would show adverts. Advertisements like that are very annoying due to how intrusive they are. Users who found themselves permitting those notifications to appear should not click on any ads in the desktop as they are probably not safe. They are shown by suspicious sources, so interacting with them might result in a seriously contaminated computer. The notifications’ authorisation may be revoked at any time, and we’ll explain how to do that in the final paragraph of this report.

It’s generally the case that Thenlighmetanna.pro redirects are caused by the sites users were visiting. Alternatively, they could be caused by ad-supported software. If adware is behind this, it isn’t a severe infection as ad-supported software focuses on exposing users to advertisements in order to make revenue. Free software bundling was likely how users accidentally set up ad-supported software onto their systems. Creators of undesirable programs want their products to set up without users noticing, so they commonly go for this method.

For those who wish to learn the correct way to install freeware, the proceeding section of this article ought to be read thoroughly. If users are rerouted to peculiar web pages by ad-supported software, it will need to be eliminated so as to eliminate Thenlighmetanna.pro.

Ad-supported software distribution methods

In many cases, people set up adware accidentally, if they do not pay attention during free software installation. Infections like adware, browser hijackers and possibly unwanted applications come added to free software as extra items, and can install alongside. Unless the offers are unchecked manually, they will automatically install alongside. It is necessary that Advanced (Custom) settings are chosen because none of the items will be visible otherwise. Advanced settings will make all offers visible, and allow users to uncheck all of them. The additional items need to be deselected before users may proceed with installing the program. Even if an item seems practical, it isn’t recommended to allow it to install, as it tried to set up without consent. Users whose computers are full of rubbish probably don’t pay attention to program setups.

What does Thenlighmetanna.pro do

All often-used browsers like Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox will be affected by abrupt redirects to Thenlighmetanna.pro. For users looking for a temporary solution, adblocker might be helpful. On the Thenlighmetanna.pro page, a pop-up will ask permission to show notifications pushed by the web page. If users tap “Allow”, ads will start appearing. Because the advertisements seem pretty valid, they are harmful.

It is unlikely that the advertisements will be secure, seeing as the pages that show them are pretty dubious. Users engaging with them should take into consideration the fact that scams and even malware might be pushed by those ads. It’s recommended to particularly be cautious with ads that proposing updates. Less attentive users might mix up those real alerts with those advertisements because they are displayed in the same bottom-right corner. A press on a harmful alert might result in a severe malware. It should be mentioned that applications should not be downloaded from pages that aren’t secure.

Some advertisements might also claim that users have won some kind of prize. The advertisement claim that a specific company (frequently Google, Amazon or Facebook) is having a giveaway and is giving away expensive devices. If users fall the scam, they would then be asked to pay a small fee or fill in a questioner. Whatever the case might be, the user would have to give personal data. It’s needless to say criminals would immediately get that data. The information would be used to further scam users or it would be sold as part of a data package. Legitimate giveaways aren’t hosted this way, and users can safely see all adverts offering prizes as scams.
