About ytmp3.cc

ytmp3.cc is a website that allows users to convert YouTube videos to mp3. It’s one of the first results to come up when using Google to search “Youtube to mp3”, so it’s likely a popular choice among users who wish to download music for free. It’s by no means a malicious website but using it may expose you to questionable advertisements. As has been popular recently, the website asks you to allow ytmp3.cc to send you notifications. ytmp3

What that means is that it wants to show you ads. And not just regular ones, but those that appear in your desktop as well. If you have used the website and allowed the notifications, we suggest you avoid clicking on any ads until you have revoked the permission. It’s not difficult to do and we will explain what you need to do in the last section of the report. You will simply need to delete ytmp3.cc from your notification permission list.

Many free content sharing and download websites allow questionable adverts, so it’s always best to avoid clicking on them at all costs when on one such website. You could be led to websites that host scams, or may be exposed to malware. Such sites, including ytmp3.cc also collect some information about you. When legitimate and safe websites collect information about you, it’s nothing to worry about. However, when questionable sites have access to that information, it should be alarming.

Why are ytmp3.cc ads appearing on your screen?

If you notice more ads than usual after you have used ytmp3.cc’s services, you probably allowed the site to send you notifications. When you convert a YouTube video to mp3, a notification at the top-left corner will pop up and state that ytmp3.cc wants to show you notifications. You can either block or allow them. A lot of websites these days ask to send you these notifications, which are essentially ads, and you need to pick the ones you allow carefully. Generally, there is no reason to allow those notifications, unless it’s some news site and you want to get news updates, or similar. For sites like ytmp3.cc, allowing notifications only means you will see a constant flow of ads on your screen, both in your browser and in your desktop.

Is ytmp3.cc a dangerous website?

The website itself is safe to use. However, if you have allowed it to show you notifications, you need to be careful about which ads you click on. In addition to them appearing in all popular browsers you have installed (including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox), they will also pop-up on your desktop, at the bottom-right corner of your screen. That is where legitimate notifications appear, so it’s not impossible to confuse ads with them. Some of the displayed ads may be dangerous and expose you to scams or malware, so you ought to be careful.

One particular type of advertisement you should be cautious of is one that offers you to download programs and install updates. Such ads could easily be spreading malware, as malicious programs are often disguised in order to trick users. Keep in mind that updates should never be downloaded from ads or other unsecure sources. If some program needs to be updated, it will do so automatically. If manual update is necessary, obtain it from the official website. And if you seen an ad for a program you want, research it carefully and download it from official websites/stores.

If you use ytmp3.cc, it’s a good idea to read the site’s Privacy Policy so that you know what kind of information about you is collected, how it’s stored and whether it’s shared with third parties. The site does collect information about you, including IP address, country, browser type, etc. Data related to your search terms, what content you access and what you download may also be collected. Rather worryingly, the policy also states that your personal information can be shared with third-parties and advertisers for marketing and promotion purposes.

“We may aggregate your personal information with personal information of other members and users, and disclose such information to advertisers and other third-parties for marketing and promotional purposes.”

Since the site is not dangerous, using it won’t harm your computer. However, we do not recommend allowing it to send you notifications, as that only puts your computer in unnecessary danger.
