What kind of page is womnotice[.]com?
We have examined womnotice[.]com and found that it is designed to trick visitors into believing they have to follow its instructions. The purpose of womnotice[.]com is to obtain permission to send notifications to users. It is highly advisable to avoid such websites and never permit them to show notifications.
Womnotice[.]com in detail
Womnotice[.]com displays an image of a robot with a prompt asking you to click "Allow" if you are not a robot, suggesting that this is necessary to bypass a CAPTCHA. In reality, clicking "Allow" grants womnotice[.]com permission to send notifications to your device. These notifications can be designed to open potentially malicious sites.
Pretty often, notifications from sites like womnotice[.]com claim that a computer is infected or hacked, security software is outdated, and contain similar fake messages. They often use fear tactics to trick users into clicking them. Such interactions can lead to phishing sites designed to steal sensitive information (e.g., passwords or credit card details).
Also, notifications from pages like womnotice[.]com can take users to fake lotteries, giveaways, technical support scams, websites hosting malware, or unwanted software like adware, browser hijackers, etc. These sites may trick users into disclosing personal information, transferring money to scammers, downloading harmful programs, and taking other actions.
Therefore, womnotice[.]com (and similar websites) should not be granted permission to show notifications. If such a page already has this permission, it should be revoked as soon as possible.

More about these pages
It is common for websites of this type to be opened via links in fraudulent emails, ads (and similar content) on questionable pages, and sites associated with rogue advertising networks (e.g., torrent sites and illegal movie streaming platforms). Adware can also be designed to show ads that can take users to pages like womnotice[.]com.
Examples of similar websites are yonminuner[.]com, yableenta[.]com, and unassise[.]com.
How did womnotice[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot show notifications without permission. Depending on the browser, this permission is granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option. Therefore, womnotice[.]com shows notifications because it has been allowed to do so by choosing one of the aforementioned options.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Always select "Block", "Block Notifications", "Deny", or a similar option when asked for permission to show notifications by a shady web page. Note that it is never required to click "Allow" to pass a CAPTCHA (confirm that you are not a robot), play a video, download a file, confirm your age, etc.
If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
