What kind of page is ilitonline[.]com?
While investigating suspicious websites, our research team discovered the ilitonline.com rogue webpage. It is designed to endorse browser notification spam and redirect users to other (likely dubious/malicious) websites. Users primarily access pages like ilitonline[.]com via redirects caused by sites employing rogue advertising networks.
Ilitonline[.]com overview
It is worth mentioning that the behavior of rogue pages might depend 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 the ilitonline[.]com page, we found that it has two appearance versions and that they both use fake CAPTCHA verification. One contained an image of a purple robot beside text instructing to – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot". The other had the following instructions – "Click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot", below which was an image depicting five robots.
The bogus tests are intended to deceive visitors into enabling ilitonline[.]com to deliver browser notifications. Rogue pages use them to run intrusive advert campaigns. These advertisements promote online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware.
In summary, through webpages like ilitonline[.]com – users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
Newsfeedhome[.]com, sembilme[.]com, butteraalsofour[.]xyz, eastfeukufunde[.]com, downloadwiky[.]lol, and bestmaxfield[.]com are merely some examples of rogue websites that we have examined recently. These pages display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.
While genuine products and services may be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by their developers. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did ilitonline[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered the ilitonline[.]com page at some point and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thus enabling the advertisement delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you access a suspicious webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise denying notification requests from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring them altogether.
Should you keep experiencing continuous and prompted redirect 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.
