Buyadvupforgroup[.]com overview

The content promoted on and via rogue sites may vary depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.

At the time of research, buyadvupforgroup[.]com had two appearance variants. One was a blue page stating that "Access to the website is limited/ To access the website content, click Allow!". The other page had a white background and depicted a robot, beside which was text instructing to "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot". The instructions provided by both versions were intended to trick visitors into allowing buyadvupforgroup[.]com to deliver browser notifications.

Rogue webpages use their notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The ads endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware.

To summarize, through websites like buyadvupforgroup[.]com – users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected countless rogue pages; newcaptchahere[.]top, webuddingroup[.]comtheoverheat[.]com, getoverenergy[.]com, colamecola[.]biz – are merely some examples of our latest finds.

These websites display browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious material. While genuine products and services may be encountered via these adverts – they are highly unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, it is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user permission. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from buyadvupforgroup[.]com – it means that you have likely accessed this webpage at some point and permitted their delivery. In other words, clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on buyadvupforgroup[.]com.

Note that rogue sites often employ deception (e.g., fake CAPTCHA tests, clickbait, etc.) to lure visitors into allowing notifications.

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.). Instead, we advise denying notification requests from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring them altogether.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, it could be caused by adware installed onto the browser or 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.
