Iamadsnews[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue websites (i.e., what they load/promote) might differ depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we inspected the iamadsnews[.]com page, we discovered two appearance versions. Both employed fake CAPTCHA verification to lure visitors into enabling the site's browser notification delivery.

One variant displayed an image depicting five robots, above which were instructions to – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot". The other contained a select-picture CAPTCHA test that instructed to – "Click 'Allow' if you see a robot".

After we selected the "Allow" button, it resulted in a redirect to dispatchfeed[.]com – a webpage that likewise promotes browser notification spam.

Rogue websites use their notifications to run intrusive ad campaigns. The delivered adverts endorse online scams, untrustworthy/hazardous software, and even malware.

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

Browser notification spam in general

Mithrilminer[.]top, nighridadered[.]com, news-dudafa[.]com, worldcoolnewz[.]com, and purabissalorter[.]com are just some examples of rogue pages we have examined recently. These sites display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious material.

It must be stressed that while legitimate content can be encountered through these ads – it is unlikely to be endorsed by its actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely entered the iamadsnews[.]com page and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspect sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious websites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed onto the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
