Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is myreloads[.]com?
Our research team found the myreloads[.]com rogue page while investigating questionable websites. We discovered two appearance variants of this webpage. It is designed to promote browser notification spam, and it can redirect users to other (likely unreliable/harmful) sites.
The majority of visitors access myreloads[.]com and similar pages through redirects caused by websites using rogue advertising networks.
Myreloads[.]com overview
It is pertinent to mention that the content encountered on and through rogue sites might differ depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation).
At the time of research, one myreloads[.]com version depicted five robots below text instructing to – "Click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot", while the other included a select-image type test with instructions – "Click 'Allow' if you see a robot". If either of the fake CAPTCHA verifications tricks the visitor, they will inadvertently permit myreloads[.]com to display browser notifications (ads).
After we clicked the "Allow" button presented by one of the variants, we were redirected to the kind of site that typically promotes adware, browser hijackers, or PUAs through deceptive claims.
Rogue pages use their notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered adverts primarily endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware.
In summary, through webpages like myreloads[.]com – users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed countless rogue sites; buadss[.]com, emydreamsa[.]com, and wandsservices[.]com are merely a few examples. These webpages deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.
Keep in mind that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are unlikely to be endorsed by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did myreloads[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user consent to display browser notifications (ads). Therefore, you have likely entered myreloads[.]com at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable suspect sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., denying "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open dubious webpages, 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.
