What kind of page is youtubetomp3song[.]com?
Youtubetomp3song[.]com is yet another website offering YouTube video conversion to downloadable MP3 (audio) files. In addition to breaking copyright laws, this site also uses rogue advertising networks. Therefore, visitors to youtubetomp3song[.]com can get redirected to a wide variety of untrustworthy and harmful webpages.
Youtubetomp3song[.]com overview
When our researchers investigated youtubetomp3song[.]com, it caused a redirect after the YouTube link was converted and the "Download MP3" button was clicked.
It is common for sites that use rogue advertising networks to redirect to other pages when hosted content (e.g., buttons, links, and ads) is interacted with. However, some rogue websites force-open the promoted webpages - the moment a visitor enters them. Additionally, where these advertising networks redirect to - can vary (e.g., depending on user geolocation, etc.).
Youtubetomp3song[.]com redirected us to a browser notification spam promoting webpage. Interestingly, the trickery the page employed to deceive visitors into allowing its notifications tied well with the converter site - "Download Is Ready/ click Allow to download your file".
Rogue advertising networks are known to endorse scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware. Websites that use these networks can also host intrusive ads that promote similarly dangerous pages. Furthermore, some of these adverts can infiltrate software into systems - upon being clicked.
Note that any legitimate content encountered through such networks is not promoted in its manner by the actual developers. This technique is popular with scammers - abusing affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

What threats does visiting a rogue website pose?
Rogue advertising networks often promote deceptive/dubious download pages for adware, browser hijackers, fake anti-viruses, and various PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). Webpages that use these networks might even redirect to malicious sites capable of stealthily downloading/installing malware or ones designed to trick visitors into doing so themselves.
Advertising networks of this type commonly promote scams, e.g., phishing, fake virus warnings, hoax outdated/missing software alerts, etc. Many rogue websites push browser notification spam or redirect to pages created for this purpose.
To summarize, visiting/using sites that employ rogue advertising networks can result in - system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.
How to avoid visiting rogue websites?
Websites that offer illegal or questionable services, e.g., Torrenting, illegal streaming, pirated content downloading, etc. - typically use rogue advertising networks. Therefore, we advise against using these sites and their services.
Rogue webpages are also promoted via deceptive browser notifications. Hence, notification requests from suspicious websites must be ignored or declined (i.e., "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Sites of this type can be force-opened by adware or endorsed by its ads. To avoid installing adware and other dubious software, it is crucial to download only from official/verified sources. Additionally, it is essential to exercise caution with installation processes, e.g., read terms, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt-out of all additions.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
