How to Remove Websiteshove.com (Virus Removal Guide)
Websiteshove.com is a malicious domain name that plays a role in displaying unwanted advertisements and notifications on Google Chrome and Windows desktop. Advertisements and pop-up notifications native to the website are often the results of a malware or adware infection or malicious advertising campaign. Users who are forwarded to Websiteshove.com by an advertisement or malicious program are typically shown a pop-up message that says “Websiteshove.com wants to show notifications” and an image of a robot that says “click allow if you are not a robot.” This is a misleading tactic designed to trick unsuspecting internet users into allowing notifications from the website.
The user is given an opportunity to allow or block Websiteshove.com notifications in their browser and if notifications are allowed the user may experience malicious notifications on the Windows desktop and on the browser promoting malware, adware, and spyware. The notifications often act as advertisements, bolstering and promoting programs that do not exist. For example, advertisements associated with the website may fraudulently promote a Windows update or media player but in reality, the advertisements contain direct links to download malware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).
