How to stop receiving deceptive ads from notifgetnews.com

What kind of page is notifgetnews[.]com?

After examination, it has come to light that notifgetnews[.]com utilizes clickbait, a deceitful strategy, to coax visitors into agreeing to receive notifications. Furthermore, notifgetnews[.]com has the potential to redirect users to similar websites. Therefore, visitors are advised against placing trust in this site and are encouraged to close it immediately.

Notifgetnews[.]com in detail

Notifgetnews[.]com employs a deceptive tactic by displaying an image of robots along with a message prompting visitors to click the "Allow" button. The message suggests that clicking the button is necessary to confirm that the visitor is not a robot, presumably to pass a CAPTCHA verification process.

This tactic is designed to trick users into consenting to receive notifications from the website. However, in reality, clicking the "Allow" button grants the site permission to display notifications, and there is no actual CAPTCHA verification taking place. Allowing pages like notifgetnews[.]com to display notifications poses several risks to users.

Firstly, these notifications can be intrusive and disruptive, often appearing at inconvenient times and interrupting the user's browsing experience. Secondly, by granting permission for notifications, users may unknowingly expose themselves to potentially malicious content.

These notifications could contain deceptive advertisements, links to phishing websites, or prompts to download malware-infected files. Additionally, allowing notifications from untrustworthy websites increases the likelihood of encountering unwanted or inappropriate content, which can compromise the user's online safety and privacy.

During our inspection, notifgetnews[.]com sent fake system alerts/warnings from McAfee claiming that a computer is infected. Also, notifgetnews[.]com may redirect visitors to other websites designed to trick them into agreeing to receive notifications.
