What kind of page is buynads[.]com?

Our research team discovered the buynads[.]com rogue webpage while checking out suspect websites. This page is designed to promote browser notification spam and redirect visitors to different (likely dubious/malicious) sites. Users primarily access pages like buynads[.]com via redirects caused by websites that use rogue advertising networks.

Buynads[.]com overview

The content encountered on and through rogue sites may vary depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). At the time of research, buynads[.]com ran a bogus CAPTCHA verification test. It instructed the visitor to – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot". If tricked by this deception, the user will inadvertently permit buynads[.]com to deliver browser notifications.

Once we clicked the "Allow" button, it redirected us to notadslife[.]com – another notification-promoting webpage. Rogue sites use their browser notifications to run intrusive ad campaigns. The displayed adverts endorse various scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware.

To summarize, through websites like buynads[.]com – users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Getconatyclub[.]com, findatingpulse[.]live, and poznerterswe[.]com are merely a couple examples of rogue pages. These websites deliver browser notifications that push deceptive/malicious material.

Note that any legitimate content encountered through these advertisements is unlikely to be promoted by its actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse a product's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did buynads[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Sites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you have likely accessed buynads[.]com and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page.

It is pertinent to mention that many rogue webpages use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, adult-oriented content, or other deceptive tactics to trick visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring them altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed onto it or the 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.
