Are you familiar with CAPTCHA, a Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart? That is what 2solo.biz exploits to trick people into allowing potentially unreliable notifications that are supposed to flood their screens.

Luckily, this is not an irreversible situation. You can remove 2solo.biz notifications, and we have even created a guide that shows how to do that on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers. Without a doubt, you also need to think about your own virtual behavior. Why were you introduced to the notifications request? Also, is it possible that threats need to be deleted from your operating system? Anti-Spyware-101.com research team is ready to answer all questions, and we suggest that you start by reading this report. Read more »
