Remove Acupturer.com (1 Simple step)

Acupturer.com is a fake website. Acupturer.com displays unwanted advertisements on a computer or cell phone. This website does this by abusing notification functionality in the browser to send sponsored ads.

What is Acupturer.com?

Acupturer.com is part of a spam campaign set up by online scammers. The Acupturer.com website is promoted by advertising networks and, in this way, misleads users into allowing notifications to be sent through the browser.

On the Acupturer.com site, a fake message is displayed “Click allow to confirm you are not a robot” or a similar deceiving message. This message looks like a legitimate captcha notification that does show up on several legitimate websites. However, in reality, it is a scam. It is a fake message designed by the spammer to trick users into allowing notifications through the browser.

After the user clicks the “allow” button at the top left of the pop-up window, permission is added to the browser settings for Acupturer.com. The Acupturer.com domain can now send unwanted sponsored ads to the computer or phone. These are the ads you see on your device. It is pure deception, and more and more people are falling for this scam.

The unwanted pop-up ads that this website sends contain fake ads. These could be phony antivirus notifications, casino ads, or redirects to even more dangerous websites. The circles behind this website make money from every click of a user. This spam campaign, of which Acupturer.com is a part, is only aimed at generating as many clicks as possible.

Suppose you have fallen victim to this scam. In that case, all you have to do is remove the permission for the Acupturer.com domain from the notification settings in the browser. This is how to remove Acupturer.com.
