How to Remove aunotification.com POPUP – working removal instruction

aunotification.com is a fake “show notifications” pop-up redirect in the Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Edge web browser, similar to the UK based ukcontentdelivery.info popup. aunotification.com pop-up is produced by an adware application. Once adware is installed on the computer, the browser is redirected by a variety and usually random pop-up advertisements in the web browser.

aunotification.com wants you to accept notifications in the browser to show intrusive advertising on your desktop. Ads from aunotification.com are shown even when the browser is closed, leaving the user puzzled about where the pop-up comes from. Push Notifications are abused by cybercriminals to mislead users and show their intrusive ads whenever they want. aunotification.com is associated with adware applications.
Adware applications redirect the web browser through various domains, as you can see in the image screenshot I took from my infected computer.

Adware is responsible for the display of annoying and recurring ads from aunotification.com. The ads may consist of pop-ups, ads in the content of the web page or random redirects in the web browser. Usually, the web browser is redirected by a random number of pop-ups in the web browser before landing on the eventual advertisement.

In this way, adware can use ad networks to determine which ad is most relevant to the user. Adware publishers benefit from the most relevant ads in order to generate sale leads and money by forcing pay per click ads to the user. In principle, the more relevant the ad, the more pay per clicks it delivers to the adware developers.

The problem lies in the fact that adware unwittingly collects all kinds of information from the browser and infected PC. This information consists of, your online activity, your browser history, your searches, and your online purchases. This is not something you unwittingly want to share with often suspicious advertising networks.

It is important to identify the adware application on your PC that displays the unwanted aunotification.com pop-up in your Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Edge web browser. After the adware application is removed, the pop-up ads will also no longer appear.
