Posted: April 29, 2020

W2sercher.biz is part of a series of websites that appear to serve one sole purpose – hosting bogus pop-ups that try to trick users into subscribing to this website's notifications unknowingly. If you make this mistake, you may end up seeing a large number of browser notifications delivered by W2sercher.biz – needless to say, their contents will not be entertaining or useful and, instead, they are likely to prioritize promoting various products, services and shady websites.

Apart from W2sercher.biz, the con artists have set up several similar websites that can be found at the URLs W5sercher.biz, W1sercher.biz and W3sercher.biz. The fraudulent pages hosted on these websites are likely to appear in your Web browser when you browse dodgy websites that have been paid to promote the W2sercher.biz advertisements.

You should never allow random websites to use your browser's notifications. Naturally, you also should pay close attention to the instructions random websites display since pages like W2sercher.biz will try to trick you into thinking that you have to perform certain actions to view a video when, in reality, you will end up subscribing to W2sercher.biz's notifications.
