Threat Database Adware Elopmyskillsi.biz

Elopmyskillsi.biz

Elopmyskillsi.biz is another dubious website that has been created with the singular purpose of carrying out a popular browser-based tactic. Sites of this nature are almost always empty except for several fake errors or warning messages. The displayed alerts are designed to trick any potential visitor into subscribing to that particular site's push notification services by clicking the 'Allow' button. There are a couple of popular scenarios that have managed to establish themselves among these deceiving websites. 

The most predominant one, by far, and the scenario used by Elopmyskillsi.biz, is to pretend to conduct a captcha check for bots. Users will be greeted with a prominently displayed message that states:

'Click Allow to confirm that you are not a robot!'

Additional pop-ups also must be generated. The messages inside them might be similar to:

'Elopmyskillsi.biz wants to Show notifications

CLICK ALLOW TO CLOSE THIS PAGE'

The goal of Elopmyskillsi.biz is to gain broad browser permissions that will allow it to run an intrusive ad campaign and generate monetary gains for its creators in the process. Affected users will notice that the ads continue to appear even if the browser itself has been closed completely. Furthermore, the advertisements could redirect to other dubious or outright unsafe third-party websites so clicking on any of them is discouraged strongly. 

The best way to deal with Elopmyskillsi.biz is to close the page and then use a reputable anti-malware solution to run a scan for any PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that might have snuck themselves onto your device.
