Computeradz[.]com overview

The content encountered on or via rogue websites might be determined by the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. During our inspection of computeradz[.]com, it presented us with an image of a purple robot beside text. This fake CAPTCHA verification - 'Click "Allow" of you are not a robot' - is designed to trick visitors into enabling computeradz[.]com to display browser notifications.

When we pressed the 'Allow' button, it resulted in a redirect to the notadslife[.]com webpage, which likewise pushes notification spam.

Rogue sites use browser notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered ads promote unreliable/harmful websites and software, online scams, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

The Internet is rife with misleading, deceptive, and hazardous content. Rogue sites are just as numerous on the Web, and we have analyzed thousands of them - alcovenin[.]xyz, allowtocontinue[.]com, and cartech[.]space are just a couple of our newest finds.

The browser notifications delivered by these websites primarily endorse scams and malicious material. Note that any legitimate products encountered vis these adverts are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers' abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did computeradz[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered computeradz[.]com and permitted it to display these advertisements by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious website, do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options displayed on it - as doing so will enable the page to deliver such ads. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites unprompted - it could be caused by adware installed onto it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
