What is Smart-redirect.org?

Smart-redirect.org is a malicious website that infects computers by exploiting vulnerabilities in popular web browsers. When a user visits an infected website, the Smart-redirect.org script is executed and redirects the user to various other malicious websites. This can result in the installation of malware on the user’s computer or the theft of sensitive information.

One of the ways Smart-redirect.org exploits computer users is through browser notifications. Once a user allows notifications from Smart-redirect.org, they may receive a barrage of unwanted pop-ups and advertisements, leading to a frustrating browsing experience. Smart-redirect.org is known to infect a wide range of browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, making it a threat to a large number of internet users. Additionally, it is capable of infecting both desktop and mobile devices, further expanding its reach and potential impact on unsuspecting users.
