Home Malware Programs Browser Hijackers Homoviper.com

Homoviper.com

Posted: August 25, 2020

Homoviper.com is home to a browser-based tactic that tries to hijack your browser notifications, and then use them to deliver a constant stream of intrusive advertisements. However, for Homoviper.com's plan to work, it needs to gain some permissions from the users – to do this, it displays a bogus prompt saying that users must click 'Allow' to view a video, unlock more content or to continue browsing.

The catch is that Homoviper.com's prompt is not meant to grant you access to more content and, instead, it is asking you to give Homoviper.com permission to use push notifications. If you are not watchful enough, you may accept the offer, and give Homoviper.com free reign over your Web browser's notifications accidentally.

Needless to say, the Homoviper.com notifications do not try to be helpful or entertaining – their main goal is to produce revenue for the Web page's owners by displaying tons of paid advertisements for all content kinds, including other tactics or shady software.

Users bothered by the Homoviper.com notifications should attempt to stop them by restoring their Web browser's settings to their previous value. To disable Homoviper.com's permissions, you need to navigate to the 'Site Settings' section of your Web browser's configuration.
