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).

Browser notification spam in general
We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; yourgiardiablog[.]com, thaksaubie[.]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.
