How to remove Gepoq.info pop-up ads

What is Gepoq.info

Gepoq.info is a rogue website that manipulates browser notifications to deliver intrusive advertisements and potentially harmful content. It exploits users by tricking them into clicking the “Allow” button to watch a fake video, thereby gaining permission to send unwanted notifications directly to their desktops. This deceptive tactic often leads to intrusive pop-up ads, which can promote scams, phishing attempts, and malicious software such as adware, browser hijackers, and even ransomware. The site can affect various browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari, across both desktop and mobile devices. Once permissions are granted, users are bombarded with notifications that can disrupt browsing and degrade device performance. The notifications are not limited to just one device; they can appear on any synced devices, increasing the risk of exposure to dangerous content. The constant bombardment of ads can lead to privacy issues, financial loss, or identity theft, as users are coaxed into engaging with fraudulent schemes. To prevent infections from sites like Gepoq.info, users should be cautious about allowing notifications and consider using security software that blocks such rogue sites.

How Gepoq.info infects devices

Gepoq.info primarily infects computers through deceptive tactics designed to trick users into granting browser notification permissions. When individuals visit the website, they are often presented with a fake video player or enticing messages that prompt them to click “Allow” to watch purported content. This seemingly innocuous action enables the site to deliver intrusive ads directly to the user’s browser, which can lead to a barrage of unwanted notifications promoting scams, dubious software, and even malware. Many users inadvertently access gepoq.info through redirects from suspicious websites that utilize rogue advertising networks. Once permission is granted, the site exploits this access to generate revenue through these ads, potentially compromising the user’s privacy and security. The consequences of such infections may include degraded system performance, increased exposure to further malware threats, and serious privacy concerns.
