Getconatyclub[.]com overview

It is noteworthy that the behavior of rogue pages might vary depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information may dictate the content encountered on and through such websites.

When we visited the getconatyclub[.]com webpage, it presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification. The instructions were in Spanish and conveyed the following message – by clicking "Allow", the visitor will confirm that they are not a robot.

This CAPTCHA test is bogus, and by completing it – the user will enable getconatyclub[.]com to display browser notifications.

After we pressed the "Allow" button, it resulted in a redirect to a type of site that is usually used to endorse adware, browser hijackers, and other unwanted software.

Rogue webpages use their notifications to run intrusive advert campaigns. The displayed ads promote online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

Findatingpulse[.]live, battlehammer[.]top, and poznerterswe[.]com are just some examples of rogue webpages that we have inspected recently. These sites deliver browser notifications that primarily endorse deceptive and malicious content.

Keep in mind that while legitimate products/services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are unlikely to be promoted by their 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 getconatyclub[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these advertisements from getconatyclub[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you access a suspicious site – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification delivery from dubious webpages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests altogether.

It must be mentioned that adware is capable of randomly force-opening questionable websites. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
