What is Blandcaptcha.top

Blandcaptcha.top is a deceptive website making bad use of the push-notification feature to promote spam content. On the initial basis, push-notifications are a legitimate feature available in many popular browsers allowing legitimate resources to notify you about new updates right on a desktop in the bottom right corner. Unfortunately, fraudulent marketers exploit this feature to trick inexperienced users into subscribing to unwanted and spammy advertisements. Blandcaptcha.top may ask its visitors to click on the “Allow” button under the pretense of verifying that you are not a robot, watching a video, downloading your file, or something similar. As mentioned, doing what such websites say will lead to unstoppable streams of unwanted banners right on your desktop. The displayed content may supply users with threats about fake system infections, advertise unwanted software, adult websites, and fake lottery winnings. This deceptive marketing technique may target both Mac and Windows users. We thus recommend you follow our guide below if you are victims of Blandcaptcha.top. Instructions underneath will also be suitable for other websites of such in case a similar incident occurs in the future.

How Blandcaptcha.top infected your computer

One-time visits to websites like Blandcaptcha.top usually happen as a result of interacting with some dubious content (e.g. buttons, hyperlinks, hidden URLs, banners, ads, and so forth). Content leading to websites of such may be present on third-party pages, especially those providing their services for free. Due to this, page holders have to embed content with, as a rule, not reliable ads or redirects to finance their existence. On the other hand, if you see Blandcaptcha.top forcibly open in a browser without your consent, this could indicate that an adware program is operating inside of the system. Adware is categorized as Potentially Unwanted Software. It is usually a small application distributed through other program installers as an additional offer. Users can often prevent its installation by deselecting them in “Advanced”, “Custom”, “Manual”, or other similarly-called sections. Otherwise, ignoring and skipping them will lead to nothing but a guaranteed unwanted infection in most cases.
