Thenetaservices[.]com overview

It is worth mentioning that the content hosted on and promoted through rogue sites might be influenced by factors like visitor IP address (geolocation). At the time of research, thenetaservices[.]com presented us with a bogus CAPTCHA verification test, i.e., instructions to – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot".

Completing this "test" – enables thenetaservices[.]com to deliver browser notifications (ads). This webpage also provides information regarding notifications, which is uncommon for rogue sites. The inclusion of this could be due to new policies or a policy change (e.g., on a hosting provider's end, etc.).

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; yourgiardiablog[.]comthaksaubie[.]com, and mypholasshop[.]com are merely a couple of examples. These websites display browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content.

Note that while legitimate 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 performed by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did thenetaservices[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications if they are permitted. Therefore, you have likely entered thenetaservices[.]com at some point and enabled this advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option displayed on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you happen upon a dubious website – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspect sites, check the browser and system 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.
