How to stop the cosmovideo.cam site from delivering notifications/ads

What kind of page is cosmovideo[.]cam?

While investigating dubious websites, our research team found the cosmovideo[.]cam rogue webpage. It is designed to promote browser notification spam and redirect visitors to different (likely unreliable/hazardous) sites. Most users access pages like cosmovideo[.]cam via redirects caused by websites that use rogue advertising networks.

Cosmovideo[.]cam overview

How rogue pages operate might vary depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this data may determine the content promoted on and through such websites.

When we visited the cosmovideo[.]cam webpage, it presented us with a continuously loading fake video player, which was titled "VideoAdult.mp4". Below the player were instructions – "Press the Allow button to continue." – which imply that to view the adult-oriented video, the visitor must click "Allow".

However, by doing so – the user will unintentionally enable cosmovideo[.]cam to display browser notifications. The delivered advertisements endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware.

Therefore, through sites like cosmovideo[.]cam – users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Buycfr[.]com, buyadvupfor24[.]com, getbrowbeatgroup[.]com, npdnnsgg[.]com, and bumperskiner[.]com are just some examples of rogue websites that we have investigated recently.

These pages deliver browser notifications that promote online scams and malicious content. It is pertinent to mention that while genuine products/services can be encountered via these advertisements – they are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did cosmovideo[.]cam gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications (adverts) without user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed cosmovideo[.]cam at some point and permitted the ad delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option displayed on this webpage.

It is noteworthy that rogue pages commonly use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA tests, etc.) to lure visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented by such sites. We advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to questionable websites, it could be caused by adware installed on 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.
