Globalwoldsinc[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue sites might differ depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information may dictate the content encountered on and through such webpages.
When we visited globalwoldsinc[.]com, it presented us with a fake CAPTCHA verification test – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot". The 'Allow' option permits globalwoldsinc[.]com to display browser notifications. The deception of the bogus verification is hindered by the page providing information regarding notifications. The inclusion of it could be due to new policies or a policy change (e.g., on a provider's end like that of a hosting service).
Rogue websites use their notifications to run intrusive ad campaigns. These advertisements can endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware.
To summarize, via webpages like globalwoldsinc[.]com – users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
Ceestaul[.]com, news-beciyi[.]com, brobadsmart[.]com, gratsegrid[.]com, and alladvertisingdomclub[.]club are merely some of our newest articles on rogue pages. Their purpose is to push browser notifications, yet how they promote them can differ drastically.
These adverts endorse deceptive and malicious content. Remember that while legitimate products or services may be encountered through spam notifications – they are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did globalwoldsinc[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, you have likely accessed globalwoldsinc[.]com and permitted the ad delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable dubious sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests altogether.
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, it could be due to adware installed onto the browser or system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
