How does Rectanthenwirit.info pop-up work

Like we mentioned in the introduction, if you do not engage with the Rectanthenwirit.info pop-up site, then there is nothing going to happen to your browser unless you voluntary give your consent for this shady web page to post notifications. Although it seems like a simple concept to grasp and typically these pop-up virus websites look very questionable, the social engineering tactics serve their purpose well, for example, saying that you need to click ‘Allow’ in order to watch some mysterious video or access hidden content, hence thousands of unwary users give away their permission, later regretting this decision badly. (How pop-up feature is being abused)

Since Rectanthenwirit.info pop-up uses a legitimate browser notification feature and inject only slightly altered scripts, most antivirus engines cannot detect it, because itself is not dangerous, as you can see on Virustotal.com report. But don’t be tricked again, because the alerts it posts are definitely going to put you in dangerous positions, especially if you do not have a reliable security program for prevention. Ads, shocking and inappropriate news, redirects to online stores, browser hijacker installers, other pop-ups is what users who enable Rectanthenwirit.info notifications end up receiving on their desktops every few minutes if not seconds depending on the threat’s persistence.

What is causing Rectanthenwirit.info pop-up

Because Rectanthenwirit.info pop-up is a fairly new threat, there are not that much statistics and knowledge about it, therefore it’s hard to spot the exact reason why is it in your PC. Based on experience with other notification viruses, for example, Install.notify-service.com, Pshntf.com, Lifecontext.me, we know that there mainly are two ways that these advertising viruses are proliferating, one of them being an adware virus, and another one being a simple redirect from another page. Adware creators are paid by Rectanthenwirit.info virus developers to generate their pop-ups together with other ads, and because adware is more persistent and has more authorization, it can redirect the victims to this and other pop-ups very frequently until they uninstall the program. This allows the malicious software like Video Chimp, PDF King, to earn their revenue from pay-per-click campaigns.

As for the websites that divert visitors to Rectanthenwirit.info pop-up website, they allow certain ad-networks to advertise on their domains for a certain amount of money but are not able to regulate the type of promotions. So depending on how much notification virus creators spend for distribution, ad networks select a participating website depending on the popularity and etc., and post hyperlinks on it, which later end up taking unaware people to the main Rectanthenwirit.info web page. And since the majority of antivirus products are unable to detect this page as a threat, very easily user can get tricked into enabling the push alerts.

One thing that will make the Rectanthenwirit.info pop-ups go away immediately, is blocking push notifications on your browser. By removing Rectanthenwirit.info site from the given permissions to show pop-ups list, you will discontinue the annoying part of this virus. Mind you, disabling web notifications is only going to prevent the pop-ups from coming up, but that will not ensure the restored safety of the system if there are other threats. When the cause behind Rectanthenwirit.info pop-ups is more than just a redirecting link, but something like a potentially unwanted program, then your malware removal techniques must go another level up to take care of your infected computer fully.

The best and easiest way to delete any malicious file, whether it was brought in by Rectanthenwirit.info notifications or on the contrary generated these pop-ups in the first place, is by using an anti-malware product such as Spyhunter or Malwarebytes. These security tools offer a free scan, which ensures to go through all the file directories and check which programs and files demonstrate harmful behavior, later presenting all the discoveries to the user. The great thing is that these anti-spyware applications detect all kinds of malware, and also are very simple to use.
