How to remove To4s.biz pop-ups (Virus removal guide)

What is To4s.biz?

To4s.biz is a website that uses the browser notification feature to trick you and other unsuspecting users into subscribing to browser push notifications. The push notifications will essentially be advertisements for ‘free’ online games, free gifts scams, dubious web-browser addons, adult webpages, and fake downloads.

To4s.biz is a misleading site that shows the message ‘Click Allow to’ (access the content of the website, watch a video, download a file, connect to the Internet, enable Flash Player), asking you to subscribe to notifications. If you click ALLOW, then your browser will be configured to show pop-up advertisements in the bottom right corner of Windows or Mac.
