Coustaushaw[.]com in detail

Coustaushaw[.]com utilizes a deceptive technique referred to as clickbait to entice visitors into giving consent for displaying notifications. The website misleadingly claims that clicking the "Allow" button is necessary to "continue watching". It is important to note that trustworthy websites never present such prompts.

Clicking the "Allow" button on pages enables them to display notifications. Unfortunately, notifications originating from websites like coustaushaw[.]com often redirect visitors to sites that engage in deceptive practices, such as attempting to collect personal information, promoting fake or unnecessary services, distributing harmful applications, or providing fake technical support numbers.

Additionally, coustaushaw[.]com redirects to a website (errors[.]pro), offering to add an extension that modifies a browser to improve annoying pages, provide useful information, and give a much more enjoyable Internet experience. It appears that the app promoted via that page is a browser hijacker. Apps of this type should not be trusted.

Thus, it is strongly recommended not to trust coustaushaw[.]com and websites opened through it, and never agree to receive notifications from shady pages like coustaushaw[.]com.

More about similar websites

Users typically do not directly visit websites like coustaushaw[.]com. Instead, these sites are often accessed through other dubious sources, such as illegal movie streaming or torrent sites, misleading advertisements, or adware-type programs installed on users' devices.

The primary goal of these sites is to convince visitors to grant permission to display notifications. Other websites that operate in a similar fashion include buynads[.]com, findatingpulse[.]live, and battlehammer[.]top.

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

Websites can only show notifications if users actively click the "Allow" button while visiting them. Pages such as coustaushaw[.]com employ clickbait techniques to trick and mislead users into granting permission for notification display. Therefore, if coustaushaw[.]com is currently displaying notifications, it indicates that someone has intentionally or unintentionally authorized it to do so.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To decline requests for displaying notifications, users should click the "Block", "Block Notifications", or a similar button or simply close suspicious pages. It is important not to click the "Allow" button when visiting questionable sites.

It is worth noting that reputable websites do not prompt visitors to click the "Allow" button for tasks like verifying their human status, downloading files, playing videos, or any similar actions. Such requests are typically associated with deceptive practices. If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
