How Tableshop.xyz works

Tableshop.xyz displays ads

Tableshop.xyz is a website that may show pop-up messages on your screen. These pop-ups are ads that, if you click on them, open another website – an advertisement:

• VPN ads,
• online marketplaces,
• fake articles promoting get-rich-quick scams,
• suspicious slimming, enhancement, and medical products,
• fake virus alerts – tech support scams, fleeceware apps, optimizer apps.

The ads that Tableshop.xyz shows are sometimes for mundane, safe products. Other times, they promote scams and other potentially dangerous content. The quality of ads shared by Tableshop.xyz is the same as that on pirating sites and other controversial sites. You can encounter fake security alerts, fake download buttons, potentially unwanted software, phishing scams (for instance, sites that impersonate the login pages of other sites), made-up doctors promoting fake miracle cures, and other dangerous content.

Tableshop.xyz is advertised online

Tableshop.xyz’s operators make money from showing these ads. They also spend some money advertising the site online, often on pirating sites – they tend to show dangerous advertisements.

As Tableshop.xyz has no content, people only discover it thanks to the misleading ads that it shows:

• download buttons,
• video players,
• loading bars,
• captchas,
• etc.

All of them – fake. When Tableshop.xyz pops up in an advertisement, it wants people to allow its notifications. It shows the notification prompt, then asks people to click the Allow button. “Click Allow to play the video”, “Click Allow to start downloading”, etc.

In reality, all these pages that Tableshop.xyz shows are fake. They lie just to get people to subscribe to notifications.

Tableshop.xyz is far from the only such site. It is similar to Worldactualstories.com, Leaked-video.live, and many other notification hijackers.

How to avoid notification spammers

Tableshop.xyz and other notification spammers need permission to show their ads. Luckily, browser developers know that notification abuse is a problem. Some hide these prompts by default, others give you the option to hide them. If you stop all sites from showing their notification prompt (all you need to do is change a little setting in your browser), then sites won’t be able to get permission to spam you with malicious notifications.

This does mean that sites that don’t abuse their notifications will also be unable to ask you to allow their notifications. But you can always allow them by manually adding their address on the same settings page.

Another way to minimize your encounters with notification spammers such as Tableshop.xyz is to block malicious sites and ads. You can use anti-malware apps like Spyhunter for Windows, Spyhunter for Mac, Combo Cleaner for Mac, Malwarebytes, and others.

Ad blockers can also help you stay safe. Most mainstream sites don’t show ads that lead to sites like Tableshop.xyz. But some sites, such as pirating ones, show a lot of aggressive pop-up ads. In these cases, it’s very helpful to protect yourself with an ad blocker.
