What kind of page is cliegacklianons[.]com?

Cliegacklianons[.]com is a rogue page that endorses browser notification spam and redirects visitors to different (likely dubious/malicious) websites. Our researchers discovered cliegacklianons[.]com while investigating sites that use rogue advertising networks.

Aside from redirects caused by such networks, users can access webpages of this kind via intrusive ads, spam notifications, mistyped URLs, or installed adware.

Cliegacklianons[.]com overview

The content encountered on and through rogue sites might differ depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). At the time of research, cliegacklianons[.]com used a lure that was a mix between a video player themed clickbait and CAPTCHA verification.

Both the buffering video and the CAPTCHA test are fake. Hence, when a visitor presses the "Allow" button, they unintentionally permit cliegacklianons[.]com to display browser notifications. Adverts of this kind can promote various scams, untrustworthy/hazardous software, and even malware.

To summarize, via webpages like cliegacklianons[.]com (and their notifications) – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated numerous rogue webpages; bavergenomwer[.]comalphapcnetwork[.]com, and kneadspro[.]com are just a couple of our newest articles. Despite their varying appearance, these sites aim to trick visitors into consenting to their browser notification delivery.

Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious content. It must be stressed that any genuine products/services encountered via these ads are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

You have likely accessed cliegacklianons[.]com at some point and enabled the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option. Remember that no website can deliver notifications/advertisements without user permission.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you happen upon a suspicious webpage – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such sites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, check the browser and system for installed advertising-supported software (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.
