How to remove permissions granted to ofliker.co.in

What kind of page is ofliker.co[.]in?

We have examined ofliker.co[.]in and found that its purpose is to obtain permission to show notifications. This site uses clickbait to trick users into agreeing to receive its notifications. If permitted, ofliker.co[.]in can deliver fake warnings and other misleading notifications that can expose users to online threats.

Ofliker.co[.]in in detail

Ofliker.co[.]in presents a fake pop-up containing a checkbox and a reCAPTCHA logo, and a fake video player. It implies that users have to tick a box if they are not robots. After interacting with the page, it instructs visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. This tactic is known as clickbait.

The site suggests that clicking "Allow" is required to pass a CAPTCHA. However, doing so permits it to show notifications. Once this permission is given, ofliker.co[.]in can deliver fake system warnings claiming that a browser is infected and 13 viruses are detected. These notifications urge users to remove the supposed threats.

These notifications also include "REMOVE VIRUS" and "CHECK NOW" buttons (links) that can take users to untrustworthy websites. These sites can be used for malicious purposes, such as stealing sensitive information (e.g., login details or credit card information), distributing malware or other unwanted software, and stealing money.

Thus, allowing ofliker.co[.]in to show notifications can lead to issues like monetary loss, account hijacking, data theft, and more. Users should be careful when encountering such pages and never agree to get their notifications.

Sites like ofliker.co[.]in are often reached unintentionally through rogue ad networks commonly found on torrent sites, illegal streaming platforms, and other unreliable pages. Users may also be directed to them via scam emails, misleading ads, or adware already installed on their devices. In most cases, people do not access these websites on purpose.

How did ofliker.co[.]in gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to send notifications. When visiting a site like ofliker.co[.]in, it shows a message asking you to click "Allow". If you do, the site gains permission to send notifications directly to your device. Thus, if you get notifications from ofliker.co[.]in, it means that this page has been permitted to show them.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If a shady site prompts you to enable notifications, simply choose "Block" or "Deny". Reputable websites do not ask visitors to click "Allow" to prove they are human, access content, download files, verify their age, or complete other tasks. Requests like these are usually fraudulent.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
