Gloyah.net

It is a popular misconception that you have to install shady software on your computer to experience some of the adverse effects that Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs), adware, and more high-profile threats can have on your computer's behavior. For example, there are many websites whose sole purpose is to use social engineering tricks to get users to provide them with the permissions they need to display notifications and pop-ups – such is the case with Gloyah.net, a page that also appears to take advantage of the Adf.ly URL shortening service. It is important to note that the latter is a legitimate service, and it has nothing to do with Gloyah.net or its owners.

Users are likely to stumble onto Gloyah.net's page when they browse low-quality websites that work with dodgy advertising networks. Due to these ad networks, the websites in question might spawn annoying pop-ups and advertisements that may not be easy to get rid of and promote dubious content. Gloyah.net, in particular, is known to trigger redirects by using the Adf.ly service – the page also may display a prompt asking the user to give it permissions to display notifications. If the users allow this, they may start getting bombarded with constant browser notifications that contain videos, blog posts, articles, promotions, and content that they are unlikely to be interested in.

If you see Gloyah.net's notifications in your Web browser, then you may need to navigate to your browser's settings and see to remove any permission that you may have granted to Gloyah.net. It also would be of help to run a reputable PC security tool since it may be able to identify any additional issues that might be linked to Gloyah.net.
