Mediagate.club

Posted: March 31, 2021

Mediagate.club is a misleading Web page that may show up in your browser because you were browsing low-quality websites used to spread pirated software. Typically, Mediagate.club is accompanied by advertisements and pop-ups, and its goal is to convince you to try to download a file. However, it tells you that you need to enable the 'Download' button by pressing 'Allow' on a pop-up shown on your screen. Regardless of what the message wants you to believe, you can rest assured that the 'Allow' button has nothing to do with your download. In fact, Mediagate.club does not host any downloadable files at all. Instead, it wants you to click the 'Allow' button so that you will subscribe to its browser notifications. If this change is allowed, Mediagate.club will start to spam your browser with intrusive notifications, which usually contain advertisements for dodgy services, products and tactics.

If you see Mediagate.club notifications whenever you go online, then you have probably fallen for the popular tactic described above. Thankfully, this will not lead to any major issues, and it may be an issue that is easy to resolve manually since there is no shady software involved. You can eliminate the Mediagate.club notifications by using the 'Site Settings' menu of your browser to limit the permissions of the website.
