Remove Directbase.ru virus

How to remove Directbase.ru? When you recognize advertisements from the Directbase.ru website? You are scammed. Directbase.ru is a scam website that tricks you into subscribing to push notifications using your web browser.

Push notifications are alerts that are shown using your web browser settings. Scam websites such as the Directbase.ru site attempt to persuade you into a click on the allow button in your web browser.

Directbase.ru website advertises statements such as “click allow,” “click to verify if you are not a robot”, “click allow to view video” or “click allow to download the file.” The Directbase.ru site is known as a social engineering trick and is only used to deceive you into clicking on the advertisement.

If you have allowed the push notifications from Directbase.ru, advertisements are displayed that will try to make you click on the ads again. If you click on the push notification, the web browser will open and redirect the web browser to an even more potentially dangerous webpage. The Directbase.ru advertisement is associated with malvertising, adware, and potentially unwanted programs.

Adware is software particularly meant to steal web browsing data from your computer, Mac, Android phone, or tablet. The obtained web browsing data is finally sold by cybercriminals to make money from it.

If you see the Directbase.ru advertisement in your web browser, I do recommend that you remove the push notification setting installed by Directbase.ru to prevent further notifications and possible malware infections.
