What is HELGMINERS.COM?
HELGMINERS.COM is a Push Notifications Adware. Malware Alias: PUP.Notification.HELGMINERS.Browser Push Notifications Adware tries to trick users into subscribing to its push notification.
Usually, it shows a message that the video cannot be played without a correct codec and asks you to allow install the codec. If you clicked Allow button, you are subscribed to get browsers notifications.
New notification is displayed like a popup window with a message. These pop-ups can be displayed even if your browser is not open.
Browser Push Notifications may be useful for getting useful content updates. But the site HELGMINERS.COM disturbs your with intrusive, irrelevant ads.
So the best choice is to remove HELGMINERS.COM notifications from your browser. Affected: Google Chrome and other browsers, based on Chromium project, Firefox, Microsoft Edge.
How did I get infected by HELGMINERS.COM notification?
After clicking 'Allow' button, HELGMINERS.COM Push Notification will be enabled and you will start seeing unwanted pop-ups with ads from HELGMINERS.COM at your desktop.
They will appear even if you web browser is closed! So this is pretty annoying.
If you will agree to look at an advised ad, HELGMINERS.COM site will spam your browser with unwanted ads. So the only way is to delete the permission for HELGMINERS.COM site to make notifications.
