What kind of page is enhanceprotocol.co[.]in?

Enhanceprotocol.co[.]in is a rogue webpage designed to promote browser notification spam and generate redirects to other (likely untrustworthy/dangerous) sites.

Users primarily access pages of this kind through redirects caused by websites that employ rogue advertising networks. In fact, our researchers discovered enhanceprotocol.co[.]in while investigating sites utilizing such networks.

Enhanceprotocol.co[.]in overview

It has to be mentioned that the behavior of rogue websites might differ depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information may influence the content encountered on and through these pages.

When we examined enhanceprotocol.co[.]in, it presented us with a checkbox-type CAPTCHA test ("I'm not a robot"). After it was completed, the webpage displayed another set of instructions – "Click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot". Naturally, these CAPTCHA verification tests are fake, and once a visitor presses the "Allow" button – they unintentionally enable enhanceprotocol.co[.]in to deliver browser notifications.

Rogue sites use their notifications to run intrusive advert campaigns. These ads can endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware.

To summarize, through websites like enhanceprotocol.co[.]in – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Feelflashlight[.]info, epededonemil[.]info, fast-update[.]com, opdom2[.]space, and famtoaphoobo[.]com are merely some of our newest articles on rogue pages.

These websites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. While legitimate products/services may be encountered through these advertisements – they are unlikely to be endorsed by their developers or other official parties. This endorsement is most likely performed by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did enhanceprotocol.co[.]in gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to display browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely accessed enhanceprotocol.co[.]in at some point and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thereby permitting the advertisement delivery.

It is pertinent to mention that rogue sites commonly use bait (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification tests, explicit adult-oriented content, clickbait, etc.) to deceive visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you stumble upon a suspicious page – do not permit it to display browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options encountered on such websites. Instead, ignore or deny the notification requests – i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", or similar.

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable websites unprompted, it could be due to adware installed on it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
