Hatnofort.com Ads - How to remove

Hatnofort.com is a strange website that seems to have no content, but if the name is familiar to you, and if your browsing is constantly interrupted by popup ads, Hatnofort.com might be responsible. This site, similarly to Arberittertwa.info and Studynerdz.com works to promote sponsor pages and ads. It tricks people to allow it to push notifications and then abuses that permission to advertise.

Adware leads to Hatnofort.com

Adware is software which displays advertisements to generate revenue. This can manifest in, for example, web pages (such as Hatnofort.com) being opened on your computer without your input.

The Hatnofort.com page only functions for users from a few countries, luckily. The design of this website is deceptive (for example, the front page is an image pretending to be a loading video), crafted to trick a visitor to allow notifications. “Click here! To start streaming your video” says Hatnofort.com, while playing a fake video loading animation. Know that you do not ever need to allow notifications to play videos or show content on legitimate websites.

After you click “Allow” on Hatnofort.com, popup ads start appearing while browsing the internet. The ads can be intrusive, loud, distracting. They can interrupt your work by popping up in front of some content that you are viewing. On more modest machines the animated ads can take up the system resources and slow the computer down.

Private information collected by advertisers

Adware programs, as well as websites that profit from dishonest marketing, almost always collect information on users. This allows them to target ads to individuals. The information collected usually includes your IP, search queries, hardware and software information, and is shared with third parties.

Information being collected is a privacy problem which might put your security at risk. The more companies have information about you, the more ways for it to leak. Leaked personal data can be used to perform targeted hacking, scams, phishing attacks. Knowing personal information of their targets helps online criminals gain their trust. In the worst cases, this can result in the victim losing control of their computer or even their bank account.

In less extreme cases, dishonest ads are still a big problem. The sort of ads that Hatnofort.com shows sometimes try to trick people to install rogue applications, scams or spyware. Others attempt to convince people to invest in pyramid schemes or to subscribe to shady services.

Reputable advertising networks review their ads carefully and do not accept the dishonest, suspicious, low-quality ones. The rejected ads search for other ways to be seen, which is how they end up being delivered by Hatnofort.com.

How Hatnofort.com adware is spread

Adware is often distributed in bundles. Bundling is a way of distributing software by including it in another program’s installation. This is not always done with bad intentions, but it is worth being very careful when installing freeware. Read every option during the installation. Be skeptical — malicious software could be named something trust inspiring. Sometimes there might not be an obvious option to refuse the bundled software, so check your installed programs before and after the installation.

Notification permissions and browser hijacking extensions also can function as adware, so refuse the offers unless you know for a fact that you want to get popups from a particular website, or that an extension is safe. It’s a good idea to periodically review your extensions, as you might have installed one unwittingly, thanks to some deceptive websites (remember the trickery on Hatnofort.com).

How to remove Hatnafort.com

You can put a stop to the popup ads delivered by Hatnofort.com. The notification permissions can be revoked manually by accessing your browser settings. There is a guide below that you can follow. You should also check your extensions to make sure that only what you need is installed. If you are uncertain, research each plugin and see what other people have to say about it.

It is vastly unlikely that you have found your way to Hatnafort.com accidentally, so it’s worth checking if you have adware installed on your machine. Scan your computer with Spyhunter, or another professional and reputable antivirus program and, if it finds threats, review them and remove malicious or unwanted software.
