Ouisuamprert pop-ups appear when you do not expect them, disturbing and annoying you. Nonetheless, that is slightly more than annoying pop-ups – their origins is clearly malicious, and they can install other malicious stuff to your device. In this post, I will show you the guide how to remove Ouisuamprert push notifications and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any time you interact with Ouisuamprert pop-up notifications will be useless at best. In the worst-case scenario, the sites it can open 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 Ouisuamprert 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 push notifications and Ouisuamprert pop-ups is the malignant origins of the latter. Common pop-up notifications are offered for you to enable on different sites with an understandable purpose – notify you about the latest articles, discounts, and so on. It is an effective approach to help your website keep visitors and help the interested ones to have the best deal.

Ouisuamprert pop-up advertisements, in contrast, are related to untrustworthy sites. You will generally see the offer to turn them on after redirection from another website. Redirects are OK unless they throw you to such a questionable place. In this case, turning on pop-ups is served as the anti-bot filtering. In other cases, the web pages can deny showing you the content unless you apply these push notifications. These demands should raise suspicion, as websites usually feature a different anti-bot mechanism. Witnessing this requirement is a reason to skip the site right away. Sometimes, even when you click “Allow”, you will not get to the web page – it has only a landing page with the offer to turn on the push notifications.
How does this work?
The majority of web browsers support turning on pop-ups from sites. On the other hand, websites may send notifications with the content of their choice. It can be a promotion of the product published on this website, or an ad on their partner page. As a result, you can see the pop-up from site X, but interacting with it will redirect you to website Y – because a link to the latter was added.
Cybercriminals bear on this ability in their attempt to earn money through advertising. They trick victims into allowing the pop-ups, and then just spread hundreds of banners of other crooks they have a deal with. As you may suppose, no benevolent companies will have a business with fraudsters. All the Ouisuamprert popups you may see lead to other untrustworthy sites. At some point, the same user can get into a trap of multiple pop-up spamming websites, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The ads these rascals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It generally provides a negligible payment for one view, but when you can send ads to hundreds of users and show them hundreds of ads each day – that is a much more significant sum. Even though most of such ads are ineffective, it may still bring all the parties a lot of profit.
Are Ouisuamprert push notifications dangerous?
Yes, they are. At the surface, they may look non-threatening – just a colorful window that appears from time to time. However, the things this window promotes differ sharply from what you used to see in pop-up advertisements. Ouisuamprert.com site is controlled by fraudsters, who deliberately throw hundreds and thousands of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any common sense and can make sporadic pop-up 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 with any other thing that touches illegal advertising, Ouisuamprert pop-up advertisements don’t have legit deals to offer. Even when hackers make the banners similar to ones from Walmart or Amazon, the sites these banners 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 push 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, Ouisuamprert push notifications are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.
How to remove Ouisuamprert pop-ups?
Fortunately, Ouisuamprert pop-up ads removal is not very complicated. They parasite in the browser and cannot conceal themselves on a disk. Nevertheless, as I pointed out above, some push notifications may introduce malware to your system. It is nearly impossible to show all of the cases, and manual attempts to remove malware are inconvenient. For that reason, after removing the source of the pop-up advertisements it is recommended to use anti-malware software. I’d especially recommend that if you have never allowed push notifications, and they still appeared. That can be a sign of malicious software activity. GridinSoft Anti-Malware will be the best for both system recovery and malware scanning purposes, thanks to its abilities of system recovery and multi-layer detection system.
Initially, you should reset your browser settings. It is possible to do this in both manual and automatic manner. The former requires more time to complete and may be somewhat complicated if you have never done that. Automated supposes the use of anti-malware programs that can reset all browser settings at once.

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 handled 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 host file as good as new.
