What kind of page is venadvonline[.]com?

We have examined venadvonline[.]com and found that it is a shady website designed to lure visitors into allowing it to show notifications. Venadvonline[.]com uses a clickbait technique to receive permission to show notifications. Also, venadvonline[.]com redirects to other untrustworthy web pages.

Venadvonline[.]com in detail

Venadvonline[.]com instructs visitors to click the "Allow" button if they are not robots (it implies that clicking the "Allow" button will pass a CAPTCHA). Clicking the "Allow" button while visiting pages allows them to show notifications. Notifications from venadvonline[.]com cannot be trusted.

We found that notifications from venadvonline[.]com claim that the operating system is damaged by malicious activity, a virus has been detected on a computer, etc. They can open various scam websites (e.g., phishing pages, technical support scam sites), pages offering to download questionable software and other potentially malicious sites.

We also learned that venadvonline[.]com redirects to other dubious pages. One of those sites is big-loads[.]com - a page that downloads a suspicious file. Big-loads [.]com may be hosting unwanted software (e.g., browser hijackers or adware) and even malware. Thus, it is strongly recommended not to trust pages opened via venadvonline[.]com.

More about pages of this type

Usually, users unintentionally open sites like venadvonline[.]com (e.g., by clicking shady advertisements or browsing pages that use rogue advertising networks). Sometimes, these pages are promoted by advertising-supported apps. Either way, it is uncommon for pages like venadvonline[.]com to be visited on purpose.

Examples of similar sites are mudflised[.]com, mywowspot[.]com, and marootrack[.]co.

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

Venadvonline[.]com shows notifications because it has been allowed to do so by clicking the "Allow" button while visiting it. Pages cannot display notifications without the visitor's consent. As mentioned in our article above, venadvonline[.]com displays deceptive content to trick visitors into agreeing to receive its notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Close suspicious websites when they ask for permission to show notifications or click the "Block" or "Block Notifications" (or equivalent) button. Note that legitimate pages never ask to click the "Allow" button to pass a CAPTCHA (prove that you are not a robot), confirm your age, download a file, play a video, etc.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
