What kind of page is freeiphone[.]info?

Freeiphone[.]info overview

Websites like freeiphone[.]info usually base their behavior (e.g., what they host/promote) on their visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. Hence, depending on this information, users may encounter different content on freeiphone[.]info.

Browser notification spam in general

Protectionrequired.com, bestsystemav.xyz, profitedsurvey.site - are just a few examples of sites like freeiphone[.]info, among the thousands available online.

Most rogue websites employ their browser notifications to push unreliable and even harmful content; however, in some instances they also endorse genuine products. The scammers (affiliates in this case) do so in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did freeiphone[.]info gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Freeiphone[.]info employs a fake CAPTCHA verification process to trick visitors into clicking 'Allow' - by doing so, they permit the website to deliver its browser notifications. The use of deception is typical for rogue webpages, as they can only display said advertisements with user permission.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

When an untrustworthy webpage is accessed, the notification consent options (e.g., 'Allow', 'Allow Notifications', etc.) must not be clicked; instead, they have to be ignored or denied (e.g., 'Block', 'Block Notifications', etc.).

It is noteworthy that an adware-infected browser may force-open various questionable and even malicious sites. Furthermore, unwanted and harmful software can infiltrate systems without explicit permission; hence, users may be unaware of its presence.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
