Removing notifications (ads) delivered by befimtiboagop.com website

What kind of page is befimtiboagop[.]com?

Our researchers discovered befimtiboagop[.]com during a routine inspection of dubious websites. Upon examination, we learned that this rogue page promotes browser notification spam and redirects to other (likely unreliable/hazardous) sites. Most visitors enter befimtiboagop[.]com and webpages akin to it via redirects caused by websites that utilize rogue advertising networks.

Befimtiboagop[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue sites (i.e., what they host/promote) might differ depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we investigated befimtiboagop[.]com, the page displayed a continuously loading video player with a pop-up on top. The window encouraged the visitor to install a piece of software in order to continue watching in "Safe Mode".

Befimtiboagop[.]com also requested permission to display browser notifications. Rogue sites use their notifications to spam users with ads promoting online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware.

After we selected the consent option to the browser notification delivery (i.e., clicked "Allow"), we were redirected to a different website stating – "Your file is ready", and below was a "Download" button.

This aligns with the video lure, as such false claims are usually used to endorse adware, fake anti-viruses, browser hijackers, and PUAs. In some rare instances, rogue webpages even proliferate trojans, ransomware, and other malware.

To summarize, through sites like befimtiboagop[.]com – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated numerous rogue pages; alkads[.]com, bivos[.]xyz, toreffirmading[.]com, and himalayaview[.]top are merely some of our latest articles. Websites of this kind deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content.

While legitimate products or services can be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the endorsed content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only display browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from befimtiboagop[.]com – it is evident that when this page was accessed, permission for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

It is noteworthy that rogue sites often use various lures to entice visitors into permitting notification delivery (e.g., clickbait, adult-oriented content, fake CAPTCHA tests, etc.).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspect sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such webpages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

It is pertinent to mention that having adware installed on the browser or system can result in dubious websites being force-opened at random. Should you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, inspect the device and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
