What kind of page is toneincludes[.]com?

During the analysis of toneincludes[.]com, we discovered that this page uses clickbait to get permission to display notifications. Once this permission is granted, toneincludes[.]com can deliver intrusive and fraudulent notifications. Therefore, users should not accept notifications from toneincludes[.]com and avoid visiting the page.

toneincludes[.]com ads

Toneincludes[.]com in detail

Toneincludes[.]com shows a fake video player along with a message encouraging visitors to click "Allow" to watch the video. It also features a pop-up with an unchecked box with the "I'm not a robot" message accompanied by a reCAPTCHA image. This whole deceptive design is intended to trick visitors into believing they have to click "Allow" to pass a CAPTCHA.

Notifications from toneincludes[.]com can contain fake warnings (e.g., messages claiming that a computer is infected with malware), misleading offers, and similar content. Clicking them can take users to websites designed to steal personal information by mimicking legitimate websites (e.g., fake banking or social media login pages).

They can also direct users to sites that host malware, claim that their devices are infected, prompting them to call a fake tech support number, sell fake services or products, and similar platforms. Simply put, notifications originating from toneincludes[.]com can expose users to various scams, dubious pages, and potentially malicious software.

For these reasons, toneincludes[.]com and similar websites should never be allowed to send notifications. If some dubious page is already allowed to show notifications, this permission should be revoked as soon as possible.

More about similar pages

Websites like toneincludes[.]com tend to be accessed through pages associated with rogue advertising networks (e.g., torrent sites, illegal movie streaming platforms, adult content websites, and similar pages). Ads, buttons, links, and pop-ups on these questionable sites can also be used to direct users to pages like toneincludes[.]com.

In addition, users may be tricked into visiting these sites through links in phishing emails or ads displayed by adware. Other examples of similar sites include sundermima[.]com, ratenowpage[.]site, and pohsoneche[.]info.

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

Toneincludes[.]com is able to send notifications because you granted permission by clicking the "Allow" button (or a similar option) while on the site. Web pages cannot show notifications unless they have been given permission to do so. Sites like toneincludes[.]com often use misleading tactics to deceive visitors into granting this permission.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you prefer not to receive notifications from a website, select the "Block", "Block Notifications", or "Deny" option when it requests permission to show notifications. Be cautious of websites that claim you need to click "Allow" to prove you are not a robot, watch a video, download a file, verify your age, or for other reasons.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
