Itspeedg[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue sites might vary based on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information may determine the content encountered on and via these webpages.

When we investigated itspeedg[.]com, it stated – "Your download link is ready.../ If link is not clickable, copy and paste it into the address bar." When we copied/pasted the link into the URL bar – it triggered the download of a suspicious installation setup.

This page is designed to trick users into installing the promoted software. The deception may be particularly convincing if itspeedg[.]com is force-opened by a website that offers downloads and uses rogue advertising networks – when the user attempts to acquire content from it. Hence, when itspeedg[.]com is opened – it may appear as a legitimate element of the download process.

Typically, the installers pushed by such sites tend to be bundled with adware, browser hijackers, fake anti-viruses, and PUAs. In rarer cases, they may even contain trojans, ransomware, and other malware.

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; ibuhaughuss[.]com, hintonjour[.]com, and allimpactdesign[.]com are just a couple examples of our latest finds.

These websites deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive/malicious material. It must be mentioned that any genuine content encountered via these ads is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user consent to display browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these advertisements from itspeedg[.]com – it means that you've likely accessed this page and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

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

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect sites without prompt, it could be caused by 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.
