The activity of redtext.biz is peculiar to push notifications. Many times the service of push notifications can be totally legitimate. For example, there are some decent websites that write valuable content. They may suggest that you subscribe to their new publications by allowing push notifications to be displayed from time to time. This feature is very useful if you are the daily visitor of a specific site and want to track the latest articles as soon as they are published.

Push notifications are also used by many commercial websites and do not cause any problems at all. Regretfully, things are totally different when it comes to redtext.biz. This website regularly keeps attacking your browser with the intrusive alert mentioning that you must click on its “Allow” button to enable push notifications. This is the message typically displayed by it:

Redtext.biz wants to Show notifications If you are 18+ click Allow. To access, click Allow.

Unfortunately, redtext.biz will not provide you with decent information. In fact, you may be forwarded to a lot of absolutely dangerous places through it, such as:

• websites involved in pseudo surveys, questionnaires, lotteries;
• fake Adobe Flash Player update alerts promoting other potentially unwanted programs;
• sites involved in an online scam to make people waste their money in favor of online criminals.

Tedtext.biz may switch your browser into the full-screen mode to make you eventually click on the “Allow” button. This way it will be difficult for you to close its window and read more information on the web about the problem. Eventually, some people make the mistake and permit the redtext.biz push notifications to be randomly displayed. This causes ongoing pop-up show made of redtext.biz alerts to be placed in various parts of the screen in the form of advertisement banners or small pop-up boxes containing links to third-party resources.

Check their “Notifications” section, find the redtext.biz website, then disable and delete it from the list of the sites allowed to display push notifications.
