Notadszones[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue webpages might depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. In other words, the content encountered on and through such websites can vary.
During our inspection of notadszones[.]com, it presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification. The page contained an image of a robot beside deceptive instructions - 'Click "Allow" if you are not a robot' - intended to deceive visitors into enabling the site to deliver browser notifications.

These notifications/advertisements primarily endorse questionable (e.g., adult-dating, pornography, gambling, etc.), deceptive, and hazardous websites, online scams (e.g., fake virus and outdated software alerts, phishing, etc.), harmful software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you enter a dubious website - do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., by clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites without prompt - it might be due to the presence of adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
