Nonadvertised[.]com overview

When we accessed nonadvertised[.]com, it ran the "Norton Security - Your PC Might Be Infected With Viruses!" scam. Note that the behavior of rogue webpages (i.e., what they host/promote) might depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.

The scam on nonadvertised[.]com attempts to trick users into downloading/installing and/or purchasing dubious software by claiming that the device might be infected and that the Norton anti-virus subscription has expired. It must be stressed that all the claims made by this scam are false, and it is in no way associated with NortonLifeLock Inc.

Additionally, nonadvertised[.]com requests visitors to enable it to deliver browser notifications. Rogue sites use their notifications to endorse online scams, unreliable/dangerous webpages and software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; Smartopc[.]xyz, ourwowspot[.]com, stream-trust[.]xyz, and flowerself[.]xyz are merely some examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications that push online scams and malicious content. While legitimate products can be encountered via these advertisements, they are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their programs to acquire commissions fraudulently.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you have likely accessed nonadvertised[.]com and permitted it to do so by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit suspicious sites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying the notification requests displayed by such websites (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable webpages without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
