Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is econsultingcoem[.]com?
Econsultingcoem[.]com is a rogue page that we discovered while inspecting dubious sites. This website promotes browser notification spam and redirects users to other (likely unreliable/dangerous) pages.
Visitors to econsultingcoem[.]com and sites akin to it – access them primarily through redirects caused by webpages using rogue advertising networks, spam notifications, intrusive ads, mistyped URLs, and installed adware.
Econsultingcoem[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue websites (i.e., what they host and/or promote) might vary based on visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations.
After we accessed the econsultingcoem[.]com page, it presented us with a deceptive message – "PREPARE TO DOWNLOAD!/ You need to enable browser notification to start downloading." These instructions are not associated with any download processes.
However, this deception might be particularly convincing if the user is redirected to econsultingcoem[.]com after selecting a download option from a website that uses rogue advertising networks. Hence, the redirect might appear as an extension of the process.
If the visitor clicks the "Allow" button – they only permit the webpage to deliver browser notifications. Rogue sites use them to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The displayed notifications/ads endorse various scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware.
It is noteworthy that when we pressed "Allow", we were redirected to gadsmedia[.]com – another spam notification pushing webpage.
In summary, via websites like econsultingcoem[.]com – users may experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have inspected numerous rogue webpages; cosmovideo[.]cam, buyadvupfor24[.]com, and getbrowbeatgroup[.]com are just a couple examples of our latest finds. These sites deliver browser notifications that promote scams and malicious content.
Keep in mind that while genuine products and services may be encountered through these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by their actual developers. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did econsultingcoem[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user permission. Hence, if you are receiving these ads from econsultingcoem[.]com – it means that you've likely visited this webpage at some point and enabled their delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification requests from such pages (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore them altogether.
Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
