How to remove New.lightfoot.top

What is New.lightfoot.top

New.lightfoot.top is a compromised domain, that is used to serve ads, pop-ups, redirects, and notifications in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, or Edge browsers on Windows, Mac, or Android operating systems. The first appearance of New.lightfoot.top may occur while visiting doubtful websites, often with adult content. It shows landing pages with the following texts:

New.lightfoot.top wants to: Show notifications. Click "Allow", please confirm you are over 18

Such social engineering tricks are used to make unsuspecting users subscribe to push-notifications from New.lightfoot.top. This function can be handy on a certain type of websites like online newspapers, blogs, YouTube, but becomes a disaster on spam storage like this. New.lightfoot.top actively promotes malicious pages, sponsored advertising, and infected downloads. To avoid undesired consequences, you need to block New.lightfoot.top from being able to display notifications in browsers. Here we will explain how to remove New.lightfoot.top from all browsers and block notifications from shady sites.

How New.lightfoot.top infected your PC

There can be several reasons for New.lightfoot.top ads, appearing on your PC. Firstly, your PC, Mac, or Android are infected with adware (malicious browser add-on, potentially unwanted application installed). Secondly, it may just show notifications, after users accidentally allowed New.lightfoot.top to show them. Usually, it pops up when a user visits sites with adult content, pirated software, or other types of doubtful sites. The browser is redirected to the page with the “Allow” button, that should show hidden content, but, in fact, subscribes the user to push-notifications. It also displays a standard browser dialog box to allow notifications from New.lightfoot.top. When users click the “Block” button, it redirects the browser to other random domains, then to another, and it never stops, until the user accepts it or closes the browser window. To avoid this, always use ad-blocking software, for example, AdGuard (AdGuard for Mac). To remove adware from your PC, use one of the best anti-malware applications: SpyHunter 5 or Malwarebytes for Windows or Mac.
