Nettiinc[.]com overview
When we examined nettiinc[.]com, this page presented us with an image of five cartoon-style robots, and above it were instructions to – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot".
It is noteworthy that the behavior of rogue sites (i.e., what they host and/or endorse) might be influenced by the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.
If a user is deceived by the fake CAPTCHA verification hosted on nettiinc[.]com – they will unintentionally allow the page to display browser notifications. These ads can promote online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and malware.
To summarize, through webpages like nettiinc[.]com – users may experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated numerous rogue pages; news-guwuhu[.]com, frecrec.co[.]in, and news-muwako[.]com are merely a couple of examples. Websites of this kind display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.
Keep in mind that while genuine products or services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is motivated by acquiring illegitimate commissions through the abuse of the promoted content's affiliate programs.
How did nettiinc[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Sites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these advertisements from nettiinc[.]com – then when this webpage was visited, the "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option was selected – thus enabling the notification/ad delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you access a suspect page – do not permit it to display browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such webpages. Instead, ignore or deny the notification requests, i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious sites, inspect the device for installed adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

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.
