Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is iamadssystems[.]com?
During a routine inspection of untrustworthy websites, our researchers discovered the iamadssystems[.]com rogue page. It promotes browser notification spam and redirects users to other (likely dubious/malicious) sites.
Most visitors to iamadssystems[.]com and similar webpages access them through redirects caused by sites that employ rogue advertising networks.
Iamadssystems[.]com overview
It must be mentioned that the behavior of rogue pages (i.e., what they load/endorse) might differ depending on visitors' IP addresses (geolocations).
When we investigated iamadssystems[.]com, it presented us with an image depicting five cartoonish robots, above which was text instructing to – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot". This CAPTCHA verification is fake – hence, when a visitor attempts to complete it, they inadvertently permit iamadssystems[.]com to display browser notifications.
Rogue sites use their notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. These adverts promote online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and potential malware.
To summarize, via websites like iamadssystems[.]com – users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated thousands of rogue pages; obsidiancutter[.]top, mountaincaller[.]top, choalauysurvey[.]top, browser-shielding[.]com, and cropsibagen[.]com are just some examples. These webpages deliver browser notifications that push deceptive/malicious content.
It is noteworthy that while legitimate products and services may be encountered through these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did iamadssystems[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites need user consent to display browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these adverts from iamadssystems[.]com – it means that you have likely entered this page at some point and permitted their delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspect sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.
Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites without prompt, it could be due to the presence of adware on 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.
