Subcontrol.top is a fake website usually displayed on computers, phones or tablets that have accepted notifications from the Subcontrol.top site. Subcontrol.top is identical to Captchatopsource.com.

Subcontrol.top is a website set up by cybercriminals to display unwanted ads. Ads through Subcontrol.top are displayed via push notification functionality in your web browser.

If you have accepted ads from Subcontrol.top, these ads are displayed in the bottom right corner in Windows or through the web browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Safari.

Subcontrol.top notification

If the Subcontrol.top website is displayed in your web browser, then you have been redirected via a rogue ad network to the Subcontrol.top website. In most cases, users do not visit the Subcontrol.top directly, but a redirection to Subcontrol.top is created through an ad network.

The Subcontrol.top tries to convince users to accept notifications after the referral. The message displayed to mislead users usually contains texts like “Click here to continue” or “Verify that you are not a robot”. They are misleading messages that trick you into clicking on the Allow button that appears in the web browser at the same time. In reality, you are not accepting a referral but accepting to allow push notifications to be sent to your computer, phone or tablet.

Subcontrol.top

You must remove the Subcontrol.top notifications from your computer. The notices sent through Subcontrol.top redirect the web browser to various dangerous ads that might infect your computer.

Most of the ads sent through Subcontrol.top are based on misleading texts. However, some ads promote adware programs and malware programs that may further infect your computer with malware.

If you continuously see ads that redirect to Subcontrol.top, I recommend checking your computer for malware, more specifically adware. Adware programs are known to continually display ads to trick users like you into clicking on them. Therefore, check your computer for adware immediately and remove adware programs from your computer as soon as possible. Removing adware can also instantly stop Subcontrol.top ads from appearing on your computer.

Make sure to remove the Subcontrol.top notification permissions first from your web browser settings.

Read the information carefully.
