What kind of page is globaletes[.]org?
During our examination of globaletes[.]org we learned that it is a deceptive site designed to trick visitors into granting it permission to show notifications. Globaletes[.]org uses a clickbait technique to receive this permission. Therefore, users should avoid visiting globaletes[.]org.
Globaletes[.]org in detail
On globaletes[.]org, an image of robots with instructions to click "Allow" to prove that you are not a robot are presented. Globaletes[.]org suggests that clicking "Allow" is required to pass a CAPTCHA and access the site. However, this action permits globaletes[.]org to show notifications.
We found that notifications from globaletes[.]org contain fake system warnings claiming that a computer is infected with multiple viruses and urging immediate action to remove them. Interacting with these notifications can lead users to unreliable (potentially malicious) websites. These sites can host malware or other unwanted software.
Also, they may use deceptive tactics to extract sensitive information (e.g., credit card details, login credentials, ID card information, social security numbers) from users. Moreover, web pages promoted via notifications from globaletes[.]org could be designed to trick users into paying for fake services or products.
Additionally, notifications generated by globaletes[.]org could take users to adult sites, web pages containing fake articles, and other dubious content. Thus, it is strongly recommended to avoid agreeing to receive notifications from globaletes[.]org. If this site has been permitted to send notifications, this permission should be removed as soon as possible.

Users usually agree to receive notifications from websites by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option when visiting sites that request permission. As a result, globaletes[.]org can send notifications because this permission has been granted.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
When a questionable website asks for permission to send notifications, opt for "Block", "Block Notifications", "Deny", or a similar choice. Keep in mind that selecting "Allow" is not necessary to prove you are not a robot, verify your age, watch a video, download a file, or perform any other action, and do not trust websites claiming otherwise.
