Users usually visit this website unintentionally because their browser has been hijacked by a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA), which has set Watch-video.net as the default homepage and search engine.
The actions of Watch-video.net depend on the geolocation of the particular user, which the website determines by checking all its visitors' IP addresses. Watch-video.net will either redirect the user to other shady websites or display advertising content that may include corrupted links or files. The website also attempts to make the users subscribe to browser notifications by showing a misleading message with an embedded 'Allow' button. Clicking on that 'Allow' button allows the unsafe page to deliver its suspicious promotional content straight to the user's desktop.
Users can delete the browser notifications permission given to pages like Watch-video.net manually. However, PUAs should be removed from an infected computer through a professional anti-malware program immediately.
