What is Notificatoin?

Notificatoin is an old adware program. It does not seem to work properly anymore, but computer users still complain about Notificatoin “balloons” that appear on their screens out of nowhere. The presence of this adware program on your computer usually means that you have more than just one potentially unwanted application installed. Also, it means that you often visit unreliable websites or click on suspicious pop-ups that distribute adware. To remove Notificatoin from your computer, you need to uninstall it via Control Panel. Do not forget to terminate other unwanted programs as well. test test

Where does Notificatoin come from?

Since Notificatoin is an old adware application, it can no longer be downloaded directly. In fact, its official homepage at Notificatoin.com cannot even be accessed anymore. Nevertheless, we do know that Notificatoin is developed on Kango engine and that this program can travel bundled with freeware.

Our security research team suggests that this program comes along with iVidi installer together with Scorpion Saver. Scorpion Saver is an annoying adware program itself. Bundled setup files can be easily uploaded on third-party file hosting web pages because they use a disguise. The file names are changed to The_Mayo_Clinic_Diet_-_Eat_Well._Enjoy_Life._Lose_Weight.exe or anything similar in order to avoid security checks.

What does Notificatoin do?

As it has been mentioned above, Notificatoin does not seem to work anymore. However, since it is an adware application, we can assume that the program can collect data on your web browsing habits. The information is later on used to create a flow of custom commercial advertisements. This way, Notificatoin exposes users to possibly corrupted content that could even lead to malware infection.

However, the main objective of this program is to earn money for its creators. Notificatoin does not try to steal your savings – users help adware programs willingly (albeit unknowingly). Therefore, if you notice a continuous onslaught of pop-up ads on your PC, check whether you have any unwanted adware apps installed.
