Normally, redirects and excessive display of pop-up ads are triggered by the installation of malicious browser extension or adware. It happens when the unwanted application injects a code that constantly fetches ads from a remote server and displays them on the browser window. However, there are cases that ads are originating from browser configuration that attackers were managed to overrule using different misleading tactics. Take for example the case of Myclickpush.com pop-up advertisements. Ads from this questionable domain are often emerging from the browser’s push notification service, which is supposed to be used exclusively for website alerts.
Many of the web users who are encountering the Myclickpush.com pop-ups do not realize that their being neglectful when clicking objects over the web are the source of these annoyances. Myclickpush.com may only be permitted to use the notification feature upon the approval of web users for this site to be listed in the “Allowed” list. The thing is, actors behind this malicious domain are serving up different misleading messages that operate as click-baits and so far, they were able to successfully shove web users into this trap. Here are some of the pop-up messages attempting to persuade users into hitting the trap button.
- You have to click “Allow” to start the download

- Click “Allow” to see this page
- Click “Allow” if you are not a robot
- Please tab the Allow button to continue
- To access website content, click Allow
- Click “Allow” to watch the video
- Download is ready, click Allow to download your file
Obviously, there are limitless ways to deceive web users to enable the push notification. The pop-up messages above are prompting web user to click a button, hence, the actual page itself is a huge click-trap that will set the configuration in favor of the attackers no matter whether visitors click on the button or any part of the page.
If you are bothered by excessive ads emerging from Myclickpush.com, deleting the URL from the browser configuration should stop the pop-ups. Hence, we still recommend running an anti-virus and anti-malware scan to ensure that computer is free from any adware or malware infestation.
