What are Beast-Easy push notifications?

As the pop-up definition goes, these are short and small advertisements that attract your attention to a product they promote. But the difference between regular pop-ups and Beast-Easy notifications is the malignant origins of the latter. Normal pop-ups are offered for you to enable with a benevolent purpose – keep you aware about the latest publications, discounts and so on. It is an effective approach to help your website to keep visitors and help the interested users to have the best price.

Brief summary of the Beast-easy.com pop-up ads:

Beast-Easy pop-up ads, as opposed, are related to untrustworthy sites. You will commonly witness the offer to enable them following the redirection from another page. It’s OK to see redirects unless it throws you to such a dubious place. In this case, turning on pop-ups is offered as the anti-DDoS filtering. In other cases, the web pages can refuse to show you the content unless you turn on these pop-up ads. These theses should raise suspicion, as sites generally feature a less obscure anti-bot mechanism. Spectating this offer is a reason to leave the site doubtlessly. Sometimes, even when you click “Allow”, you will not see the web page – the sole page it has is a landing page with the offer to turn on the pop-ups.

Beast-Easy push notification.

How does it work?

The majority of browsers support turning on pop-ups from sites. Websites, on the other hand, may send out notifications with the content of their choice. It may be an advertisement of the product listed on this particular site, as well as an ad of the page of their partner. As a result, you can see the push notification from site X, but clicking it will throw you to website Y – because a referral link to the latter was embedded.

Cyber burglars bear on this feature in their attempt to gain money through advertising. They trick victims into turning on pop-ups, and then just spread numerous banners of other crooks they contract with. As you can suppose, no image-caring companies will have a business with fraudsters. All the Beast-Easy notifications you can see lead to other fraudulent sites. In some cases, the same user may get into a trap of multiple pop-up spamming sites, and its browser will turn into a complete mess.

The ads these crooks show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It generally provides a negligible payment for one viewer, but when you have a huge number of users and make it hundreds of times each day – that is a much more significant sum. Even though the majority of these ads are ineffective, it can still give all the parties a lot of profit.

Are Beast-Easy push notifications dangerous?

Yes, they are. Initially, they may look harmless – just a colourful pop-up that appears from time to time. However, the things this window promotes differ drastically from what you used to see in pop-ups. Beast-easy.com website is controlled by crooks, who deliberately show hundreds and thousands of malicious ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any common sense and can make sporadic push notifications into a storm of ads. For weak systems, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But problems are not over at this point.

As any other thing related to illegal advertising, Beast-Easy pop-up ads do not contain any legit deals to offer. Even though hackers make the banners similar to ones from well-known retailers, the website these ads will throw you to are completely different. And these pages may offer you to turn on other pop-ups, install a “useful” program, or pay for a thing at a big discount and never receive it. Let’s leave aside the cases when pop-up notifications promote phishing pages or straightforward malware. There’s no way these pages will bring you any good, thus interacting with them is a very bad idea. For the same reason, Beast-Easy pop-ups are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.

How to remove Beast-Easy pop-ups?

Fortunately, Beast-Easy pop-ups removal is not very complicated. They reside in the browser and can’t hide themselves in the system. Nevertheless, as I told before, some pop-ups can deliver malware to your system. It is hard to describe all cases, and manual attempts to remove malware is a bad idea. For that reason, after disabling the pop-up advertisements it is recommended to use anti-malware software. I’d especially recommend that if you have never allowed pop-ups, but they still appeared. This situation can point at malware activity. GridinSoft Anti-Malware will perfectly fit both recovery and malware scanning and removal purposes, thanks to its abilities of system recovery and multi-layer detection system.
