Dajers.xyz pop-up notifications appear out of the blue, detracting and irritating you. Nonetheless, they are slightly more than just notifications – their nature is surely malignant, and they may install other malware to your device. In this article, I will guide you on how to remove Dajers.xyz pop-up advertisements and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any interaction with Dajers.xyz pop-up advertisements will be ineffective at best. At worst, the websites it can throw you to can introduce malware to your system. These pop-ups can 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 Dajers.xyz pop-up advertisements?
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 push notifications and Dajers.xyz pop-ups is the malicious origins of the latter. Common pop-up advertisements are offered for you to enable on different sites with a understandable purpose – notify you about the new posts, discounts and so on. It is a useful thing to help your website to keep visitors and help the interested ones to have the best deal.

Dajers.xyz push notifications, as opposed, are related to untrustworthy web pages. You will generally see the proposition to turn them on after a redirection from another page. It’s OK to see redirects unless it throws you into such a questionable place. At that point, turning on pop-ups is served under the guise of the anti-bot filtering. Alternatively, the web pages may refuse to show you the content unless you turn on these push notifications. These requirements should raise suspicion, as websites usually feature a less obscure anti-bot mechanism. Seeing such an demand is a reason to leave the site doubtlessly. In some cases, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not see the site – the sole page it has is 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 sites. Websites, on the other hand, can send out notifications with the content they want. It can be an advertisement of the product or a page posted on this site, or a promotion of the page of their partner. As a result, you may see the pop-up from site X, but interacting with it will redirect you to website Y – because a link to that website was embedded.
Cyber burglars bear on this feature in their attempt to gain money through advertising. They trick victims into allowing the pop-ups, and then just spread hundreds of promotions of anyone they contract with. As you can suppose, no image-caring organisations will have a business with fraudsters. All the Dajers.xyz popups you may see lead to other fraudulent sites. At some point, the same victim may get into a trap of multiple pop-up spamming websites, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The banners these criminals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It generally provides a miserable pay for one view, but when you have a huge number of users and make it hundreds of times each day – that is a much more significant sum. Despite most of these banners giving no result at all, it may still give all the participants a lot of money.
Are Dajers.xyz pop-up notifications dangerous?
Yes, they are. At the surface, they may look safe – just a colourful pop-up that appears a couple times in an hour. However, the contents of this window differ sharply from what you generally see in pop-up notifications. Dajers.xyz website is controlled by crooks, who deliberately show tons of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any manners of advertising and can launch sporadic pop-ups into a hurricane of promotions. For weak computers, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But problems are not over at this point.
As with any other thing related to illegal ads, Dajers.xyz pop-up notifications don’t have legit offers. Even though hackers make the banners looking similar to ones from Walmart or Amazon, the site these banners 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, Dajers.xyz pop-up advertisements are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.
How to remove Dajers.xyz pop-ups?
Fortunately, Dajers.xyz pop-ups removal is not very complicated. They reside in the browser and can’t hide themselves among system files. Nonetheless, as I stated above, some pop-up notifications may introduce malicious programs to your computer. It is nearly impossible to show all of the cases, and manual malware removal is a poor idea. For that reason, after disabling the pop-up notifications it is recommended to use anti-malware software. I would especially recommend that if you have never clicked “Allow” to pop-ups, but they still appeared. That may be a sign of malware activity. GridinSoft Anti-Malware will be the best both recovery and malware scanning purposes, thanks to its abilities of system recovery and superb detection system.

When the browsers are reset, you need to ensure that your browser will connect the right DNS while connecting to the site 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.
