Posted: February 19, 2020

Videolive.best is a page that pretends to serve as a 'human verification' step, but, in reality, its purpose is to hijack your Web browser's notifications by telling you that you need to click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot. However, the 'Allow' button is not found on a human verification prompt and, instead, it is linked to a Web browser prompt that asks users to provide Videolive.best with permission to 'Show Notifications.' Needless to say, users who pay attention to the messages on their screens are very likely to notice the scheme attempt and leave the website, but many users might fall for the little trick that Videolive.best uses to hijack browser notifications.

If you fall for the simple tactic on Videolive.best, then you are likely to see a large number of browser notifications that also may appear on your smartphone. The Videolive.best notifications promote various content, but they usually focus on spreading affiliate products and services, links to various websites, and other dodgy online content. It is better to avoid visiting any of the content that Videolive.best promotes, and to take the required measures to eradicate its notifications.

The latter can be accomplished by opening the 'Site Settings' section of your Web browser's configuration and making sure that Videolive.best has no permissions when it comes to browser notifications.
