How to get rid of the notifications/ads displayed by tacklingallas.com site

What kind of page is tacklingallas[.]com?

Tacklingallas[.]com is a rogue page that our researchers discovered while inspecting dubious websites. It operates by pushing browser notification spam and redirecting visitors to different (likely unreliable/malicious) sites. Most users typically enter webpages of this kind through redirects caused by sites using rogue advertising networks.

Tacklingallas[.]com overview

It is noteworthy that the content encountered on and via rogue websites might vary depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.

When we inspected tacklingallas[.]com, it presented us with a dark page and a loading icon, below which were the deceptive instructions - "Please tap the Allow button to continue". This text implies that to enter the webpage, "Allow" must be selected. Instead, by pressing this button - users will enable tacklingallas[.]com to display browser notifications.

Once we clicked "Allow", it also caused a redirect to a deceptive download webpage promoting the MySearchConverters browser hijacker.

Rogue webpages use notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. These notifications/ads endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful sites and software, and even malware.

In summary, through websites like tacklingallas[.]com - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue sites; scanandclean[.]xyz, takecontent[.]net, news-jivuka[.]cc, myauto[.]site - are just a few examples of our recent finds.

Their browser notifications typically promote deceptive and malicious material. Note that any legitimate products advertised through notification spam are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user permission to display browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely entered tacklingallas[.]com at some point and enabled it to deliver these adverts. In other words, clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications - do not consent to their delivery from suspicious websites (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious sites, 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.
