Smartadsboost[.]top in detail

Smartadsboost[.]top displays a loading bar and instructs visitors to "tap the Allow button to continue". The technique used by this site is called clickbait. Smartadsboost[.]top suggests that clicking "Allow" is required to access it. In reality, taking this step permits smartadsboost[.]top to show notifications.

Once permission is granted, smartadsboost[.]top can send various misleading notifications, including fake alerts urging users to "activate their McAfee antivirus" through the provided link/button. Interacting with these notifications can lead users to untrustworthy websites that host various scams, unwanted apps, and other potentially malicious content.

These sites can be used to steal money from users by offering fake products or services (e.g., fake technical support). They can also be designed to pilfer sensitive information, such as credit card details, login credentials, ID card details, etc. Moreover, visiting these pages can lead to unwanted and malicious downloads.

Therefore, it is highly advisable not to allow smartadsboost[.]top to show notifications and to remove this permission if it has already been given. Our removal guide is provided below.
