What kind of page is atradest[.]com?

We have reviewed atradest[.]com and discovered that it uses deceptive content to persuade visitors to agree to receive its notifications. Users should not trust such sites and should avoid permitting them to send notifications. If atradest[.]com has been allowed to show them, this permission should be removed immediately.

Atradest[.]com in detail

Atradest[.]com claims that visitors must click "Allow" if they are not robots. It suggests that clicking "Allow" will pass a CAPTCHA and provide access to its content. The technique used on atradest[.]com is known as clickbait. The goal is to trick recipients into agreeing to receive notifications from the page.

Our analysis has shown that notifications from atradest[.]com are fake security warnings (supposedly from McAfee) claiming that five viruses had been detected and data is at risk of being deleted. These notifications use fear tactics to trick visitors into clicking them. Interacting with notifications generated by atradest[.]com can take users to malicious pages.

Users may be directed to phishing websites designed to steal usernames and passwords (or other login credentials), ID card or credit card details, social security numbers, etc. Also, notifications shown by atradest[.]com may take users to technical support scams, fake lotteries or giveaways, and web pages hosting unwanted or malicious software.

Therefore, allowing atradest[.]com to send notifications may result in becoming a victim of identity theft, losing money and access to personal accounts, having a computer infected with malware, or other negative consequences. For these reasons, atradest[.]com should never be permitted to send notifications.

More about similar sites

Users typically access these types of web pages through shady ads, pop-ups, buttons, links, etc., on untrustworthy websites. Platforms linked to rogue advertising networks, such as torrent sites, adult content pages, and illegal movie streaming services, can also redirect users to sites like atradest[.]com.

In addition, these websites are often promoted through adware-generated advertisements or fraudulent emails containing malicious links. Examples of similar sites include wheebsadree[.]com, wedonhisdhiltew[.]info, and yourfreshjournal[.]com.

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

When a website requests to send notifications, your browser displays a message offering options to "Allow" or "Block". If you choose "Allow", you are giving the site permission to send notifications to your device. Thus, notifications from atradest[.]com appear because you clicked "Allow" while visiting it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If a website you do not trust asks for permission to send notifications, choose "Block", "Deny", or an equivalent option. Trustworthy websites do not require visitors to click "Allow" to complete a CAPTCHA, access content, download files, watch videos, etc. Unreliable or malicious sites commonly employ these tactics.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, 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.
