About ytmp3.cc

ytmp3.cc is a website that allows users to convert YouTube videos into mp3 and download them. It’s a popular website and is one of the first results to come up when googling “convert YouTube videos”. Since it offers a free service, the website survives by showing advertisements, which unfortunately, aren’t always safe. In addition to the ads while using the website, it has been noticed that ytmp3.cc also asks users to allow notifications, which would permit the site to show users ads all the time. ytmp3

That means that even when not on the site, ads pushed by ytmp3.cc would appear. It goes without saying that this is incredibly annoying. We should also mention that questionable websites using this technique to generate revenue is rather sneaky as not all users realize what they are agreeing with when they press “Allow” in the alert. While plenty of legitimate websites ask users to allow those notifications, they usually don’t spam them with questionable or even dangerous advertisements. Precisely because the ads shown by ytmp3.cc could be dangerous should you avoid interacting with any ads until you revoke the permission, if you have allowed the site to show you notifications. Since it’s not an actual infection, you won’t have to delete ytmp3.cc infection from your computer, and it will be enough to simply revoke the permission.

Why are you seeing ytmp3.cc ads

When visiting certain websites, you may have noticed that they offer to show you notifications. This is particularly common in news websites. However, there has been a recent surge of highly dubious websites trying to trick users into allowing those notifications so that those sites could push ads. In some cases, users are randomly redirected to a website that displays a video, but in order to play the video, users first need to press “Allow” in the alert that appears asking for permission to show notifications. It’s very obviously a trick to fool users, but not all users know that. Other sites like ytmp3.cc do not use any tricks and simply ask for permission when users try to download their YouTube converted files.

While it’s not difficult to revoke the permission once it’s been given, you should not press “Allow” unless you completely trust the website. If you are randomly redirected to a weird website, never allow it to send you notifications.

Are ytmp3.cc ads dangerous?

If you have recently used ytmp3.cc and now see an increase in advertisements when browsing, you may have allowed the site to show you notifications. If you did, the site will start showing you ads while you browse the Internet. This will only affect the browser which you were using when you allowed the notifications. And until you revoke the permission, your browser will constantly show you unwanted ads, with which we do not suggest interacting because they may be unsafe.

The ads may show you questionable content. You could be shown deceptive ads that claim you need to install some program or download an update. These kinds of ads are very commonly spreading malware so interacting with them would be a mistake. Such an ad may claim that your computer has been infected with some kind of malware and that you need to download the offered security programs in order to get rid of the malware. Obviously that is just a trick to make you install questionable software, as ads will never display legitimate malware warnings. You may also be offered to update something, but keep in mind that legitimate updates are never pushed via ads. If you need to manually update a program, you need to do it via the legitimate/official website.

In general, if you don’t interact with the ads you should be fine. And to stop them, you simply need to remove ytmp3.cc from your browser’s permission list.

ytmp3.cc removal
