How to stop the dm*.biz websites from delivering notifications/ads

What kind of page is dm*.biz?

Our research team discovered the dm*.biz rogue website family during a routine investigation of untrustworthy sites. This group includes pages that have similar URLs that differ by number, e.g., dm01[.]biz, dm02[.]biz, dm03[.]biz, dm04[.]biz, etc.

Rogue webpages of this kind are designed to load dubious/deceptive content, promote browser notification spam, and redirect visitors to other (likely unreliable/hazardous) sites. Users typically access pages like dm*.biz through redirects caused by websites that employ rogue advertising networks.

Dm*.biz website overview

It must be mentioned that the behavior of rogue webpages may vary depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information might determine the content encountered on and through such sites.

When we inspected a page belonging to the dm*.biz group, it (dm09[.]biz) presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification. The webpage depicted an image of an authority person saying – "Press 'Allow' to verify, that you are not [a] robot". If tricked by this bogus test, the visitor will unintentionally allow the site to deliver browser notifications.

Rogue websites use their notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The displayed ads promote various scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware. Therefore, through pages like dm*.biz – users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue webpages; asnzvu[.]com, trademasters*[.]xyz, allronadforyoushop[.]com, uuksehinkitwkuo[.]com – are merely some examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that while legitimate products/services can be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted by the actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did dm*.biz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications (advertisements). Therefore, you have likely accessed a dm*.biz page at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on it – thus enabling the ad delivery.

It is noteworthy that rogue sites often use 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 unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not select "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise denying notification delivery requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring them altogether.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to questionable pages, 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.
