Bipers.xyz push notifications appear when you do not expect, distracting and irritating you. Nonetheless, that is way more than annoying pop-ups – their origins is cleanly malicious, and they may introduce other malware to your device. In this post, I will guide you on how to remove Bipers.xyz push notifications and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any interaction with Bipers.xyz pop-up advertisements will be useless at best. In worst case scenario, the websites it can open can introduce malware to your system. These pop-up advertisements may also advertise fake shopping websites which will take your money and payment info. The latter generally ends up with losing all the money you have on the exposed card.
What are Bipers.xyz pop-up 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-up ads and Bipers.xyz pop-ups is the malicious origins of the latter. Normal pop-up advertisements are offered for you to enable with a legitimate purpose – keep you aware about the new posts, goods for sale and so on. It is a useful thing to help your website to keep visitor’s attention and help the interested ones to have the best deal.

Bipers.xyz pop-ups, as opposed, have a deal with less legit web pages. You will commonly witness the proposition to enable them after a redirection from another page. There’s nothing bad in redirecting unless they throw you to such a questionable place. In this case, enabling push notifications is served under the guise of the anti-DDoS check. In other cases, the web pages can refuse to show you the contents unless you turn on these pop-up ads. These theses should raise suspicion, as sites commonly feature a less obscure anti-bot mechanism. Seeing this offer is a reason to leave the website right away. Sometimes, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not see the website – it has only a landing page with the offer to turn on the push notifications.
How does this work?
Most of browsers support turning on push notifications from websites. Websites, on the other hand, can send notifications with the content of their choice. It can be a promotion of the product published on this site, or an ad of the page of their partner. As a result, you can see the push notification from site X, but interacting with it will redirect you to site Y – because a referral link to the latter was built in.
Cybercriminals bear on this feature in their attempt to gain money using illegal advertising. They trick victims into turning on pop-ups, and then just spread hundreds of banners of anyone they have a deal with. As you may suppose, no normal organisations will have a business with fraudsters. All the Bipers.xyz popups you may see lead to other untrustworthy sites. In some cases, the same user may be trapped by several pop-up spamming websites, and its browser will turn into a complete mess.
The banners these rascals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It commonly provides a negligible commission for one person, but when you can send ads to hundreds of users and make it hundreds of times each day – that is a way bigger sum. Even though most of such banners are ineffective, it can still give all the participants a lot of profit.
Are Bipers.xyz pop-ups dangerous?
Yes, they are. At the surface, they can look non-threatening – just a blinking window that appears from time to time. However, the contents of this window differ sharply from what you used to see in pop-up ads. Bipers.xyz web page is controlled by fraudsters, who intendedly show hundreds of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any manners of advertising and can make sporadic pop-ups into a storm of promotions. For weak computers, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But that is not all troubles these push notifications carry.
As any other thing that touches illegal ads, Bipers.xyz pop-up ads don’t have legit deals to offer. Even when crooks make the banners similar to ones from well-known retailers, the website these ads will throw you to are completely different. And these pages can 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, Bipers.xyz pop-up notifications are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.
How to remove Bipers.xyz pop-ups?
Fortunately, Bipers.xyz pop-ups removal is pretty easy. They reside in the web browser and cannot hide themselves on a disk. Nonetheless, as I pointed out above, some pop-up ads can introduce malicious software to your system. It is nearly impossible to predict all cases, and manual attempts to remove malware is a bad idea. For that reason, after getting rid of the pop-up advertisements the best option is to use anti-malware software. I’d especially recommend that in the case when you have never allowed pop-up advertisements, and they still appeared. That may point at malware activity.

When the browsers are reset, you need to ensure that your browser will connect the right DNS while connecting to the website you need. Create a text file titled “hosts” on your pc’s desktop, then open it and fill it with the following lines2:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Find the hosts.txt file in C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc directory. Rename this file to “hosts.old.txt” (to distinguish it from the new one), and then move the file you created on the desktop to this folder. Remove the hosts.old from this folder. Now you have your hosts file as good as new.
