Remove Hgreatent.top virus

How to remove Hgreatent.top? Hgreatent.top website is misleading. Hgreatent.top deceives you into subscribing to notifications that send out advertisements using your web browser.

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

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