What kind of page is advnottech[.]com?
Advnottech[.]com is a rogue webpage that operates by pushing browser notification spam and redirecting visitors to other (likely untrustworthy/malicious) sites.
Our researchers discovered this page while inspecting websites that use rogue advertising networks. Most users access advnottech[.]com (and similar pages) via the aforementioned sites; however, it could also be entered through redirects caused by mistyped URLs, spam browser notifications, intrusive ads, or installed adware.
Advnottech[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue webpages may depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. In other words, this information might dictate the content encountered on and through such sites.
When we inspected advnottech[.]com, it presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification - "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot". These deceptive instructions are designed to trick visitors into enabling advnottech[.]com to deliver browser notifications. When we clicked the "Allow" button, it resulted in a redirect to the notadslife[.]com website.
Rogue pages use notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The displayed notifications/adverts endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful websites and software, and even malware.
Therefore, through sites like advnottech[.]com - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have inspected countless rogue sites; updatenotification[.]xyz, investdigest[.]xyz, scan-pro-guard[.]com, and news-fesihe[.]cc are just some examples.
These webpages display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that legitimate products encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed by their developers. Instead, this promotion is done by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did advnottech[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely visited advnottech[.]com and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page. Note that many rogue webpages use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, or other deception to entice/scare visitors into enabling notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not enable dubious websites to display 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.).
Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites without prompt, it might be due to 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.
