Theasitive[.]com in detail

Theasitive[.]com displays a fake video player, a loading spinner, and a message instructing visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. The site suggests that the video will be played after clicking the "Allow" button. However, theasitive[.]com does not contain any video and is designed to trick visitors into permitting it to show notifications.

Web pages that use clickbait or similar methods to lure visitors into granting them permission to send notifications cannot be trusted. Notifications from theasitive[.]com can direct users to potentially malicious sites.
