What kind of page is advnotlab[.]com?

Our research team discovered the advnotlab[.]com rogue site during a routine inspection of untrustworthy webpages. Advnotlab[.]com operates by promoting browser notification spam and redirecting visitors to different (likely unreliable/malicious) websites.

Users typically enter sites of this kind via redirects caused by others that use rogue advertising networks, mistyped URLs, spam notifications, intrusive ads, or installed adware.

Sdvnotlab[.]com overview

When we accessed advnotlab[.]com, it presented us with a fake CAPTCHA verification. It is noteworthy that the behavior of rogue pages (i.e., what they host/endorse) might depend on the visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations.

The deceptive instructions - "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot" - displayed on advnotlab[.]com are intended to trick visitors into enabling this site to deliver browser notifications. Once we clicked the "Allow" button, it resulted in a redirect to the notadslife[.]com website.

Rogue webpages use them to run intrusive advert campaigns. These notifications/ads promote various scams, dubious/harmful websites and software, and even malware.

Hence, through sites like advnotlab[.]com - users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue pages; mycomputerads[.]com, defenderweb[.]xyz, save-your-time[.]com,  securtytrk[.]xyz, and news-rulujo[.]cc are some examples of our newest finds.

These websites display browser notifications that primarily push deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products advertised through notification spam are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can display browser notifications only with user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed advnotlab[.]com and permitted it to deliver these advertisements by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not permit dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your browser keeps randomly force-opening suspicious sites unprompted, it might be caused by 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.
