What is Human Verification Popup? And how does it work?

Human Verification Popup, as its name suggests, is a popup that could appear out of nowhere when you browse the web. However, it’s not just a typical pop-up you see over the internet as it’s actually an annoying one that will ask you to allow notifications in order for you to supposedly view a website. This pop-up is actually trying to get you to allow notifications from a site that will then send you notifications on your desktop the instant you click on the Allow button. Here’s the message in the pop-up:
“Human Verification
Press “Allow” to verify, that you are not a robot
allnewsin.ru wants to Show notifications
Allow Block”
You must not click on the allow button as you might only be redirected to a harmful website. On the other hand, if you keep seeing this pop-up no matter how many times you have clicked on the Block button, then chances are, your computer is infected with some ad-supported program or adware. Adware programs are known to trigger not just redirects to tech support scams but also to malicious domains that display shady pop-ups like Human Verification Popup. Redirecting you to suspicious sites is not the only thing that adware programs are capable of as it also delivers you with dozens of ads. In addition, it also tracks all your online activities in order to collect your information that may include your IP address, websites visited, browsing history, email address and other information, both personal and non-personal ones.
Closing the browser displaying the pop-up would only be a temporary fix. Thus, if you wish to fully eliminate the Human Verification Popup, you must get down to the root cause of it which is the adware program installed in your computer.
How does Human Verification Popup circulate the internet?
The Human Verification Popup may circulate the web via misleading ads. It could also spread via software bundles distributed on free sharing sites.
