Removing the notifications/advertisements delivered by fynweb.com

What kind of page is fynweb[.]com?

Fynweb[.]com is a rogue site that our researchers discovered during a routine inspection of questionable websites. This page uses deception to trick visitors into allowing it to deliver browser notification spam. Additionally, it is capable of redirecting visitors elsewhere (likely unreliable/dangerous sites).

Most users enter fynweb[.]com and similar webpages through redirects caused by sites using rogue advertising networks.

Fynweb[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue webpages can vary depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information might determine the content encountered on and through such websites.

When we inspected fynweb[.]com, we found it to have two appearance variants, both of which use fake CAPTCHA verification to bait users into enabling browser notification delivery.

These versions contained images of a robot; the text presented on one instructed to "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot", while the other - "CLICK ALLOW TO CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT!". If tricked by the deceptive instructions, users will unintentionally permit fynweb[.]com to display browser notifications. When we pressed the "Allow" button, it resulted in a redirect to the notadslife[.]com rogue page.

The delivered advertisements (notifications) endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful sites and software, and even malware.

To summarize, via webpages like fynweb[.]com - users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Ponuadema[.]com, allprotectpc[.]com, service-2022[.]site, and mscmart[.]com are merely some examples of the rogue pages that we have analyzed.

These websites deliver browser notifications promoting online scams and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are most likely endorsed by scammers seeking to obtain commissions fraudulently by abusing affiliate programs.

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

Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing such adverts from fynweb[.]com - it means that you have likely entered this page and clicked (or were tricked into clicking) "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites, it could be due to the presence of advertising-supported software (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.
