What kind of page is gexcontent[.]biz?

Gexcontent[.]biz is a rogue page that we discovered while investigating suspicious websites.

Typically, users access pages like gexcontent[.]biz through redirects generated by websites that use rogue advertising networks.

Gexcontent[.]biz overview

It must be mentioned that the behavior of rogue sites might differ depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. At the time of research, gexcontent[.]biz displayed a fake video player that was continuously loading in preparation to play an HD video titled "VideoAdult.mp4".

Below the player were the following instructions – "Press the Allow, button to continue.". This deception is intended to trick visitors into enabling gexcontent[.]biz to display browser notifications.

After we clicked the "Allow" button, we were redirected to soksicme[.]com – another webpage that promotes notification spam.

Rogue sites use their browser notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. These ads endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware.

To summarize, through pages like gexcontent[.]biz – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated countless rogue pages; newsfeedmail[.]com, theparlornextthef[.]com, fulldesktopcontrol[.]com, psasoshosurvey[.]space, odesclub[.]com, ewoverth[.]buzz – are merely some examples of our newest finds. These websites deliver browser notifications that primarily promote deceptive and malicious content.

It is noteworthy that while legitimate products/services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their actual developers or other official parties. 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 gexcontent[.]biz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, if you are seeing these advertisements from gexcontent[.]biz yes it means that when this webpage was accessed, permission was given by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable suspect sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.

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.
