What kind of page is comscp.co.in?
Comscp.co[.]in is a rogue page that we found during a routine investigation of questionable websites. It operates by pushing browser notification spam and redirecting visitors to different (likely unreliable/dangerous) sites.

Comscp.co.in overview
It must be mentioned that the content encountered on and via rogue webpages may differ depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.
At the time of research, comscp.co.in lured visitors into enabling browser notifications with fake CAPTCHA verification. The page initially stated – "We have registered suspicious traffic coming from your network. Using this page we will be able to determine that you are not the robot.", and presented a checkbox-type test besides the following text – "I am not a robot".
Once the box was checked, comscp.co.in displayed another set of instructions to – "Press 'Allow' to prove that you are not a robot." – this button grants permission to the webpage to display notifications. Rogue sites use these advertisements to endorse online scams, unreliable/hazardous software, and even malware.

How to avoid browser notification spam?
Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.
Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
