What kind of page is trexvideo[.]biz?

Trexvideo[.]biz overview

The behavior of rogue websites might vary; specifically, the content promoted on and through such pages can be dictated by the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.

When we inspected trexvideo[.]biz, it displayed a fake loading video player. This graphical content had two snippets of text presented on it: "VideoAdult.mp4" - implied to be the video's title, and "Press the Allow, button to continue" - which suggested that to watch it, visitors must follow these instructions. Instead, by clicking "Allow" - users will enable trexvideo[.]biz to deliver browser notifications.

Rogue sites use notifications to run intrusive advert campaigns. The displayed notifications/advertisements endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful webpages and software, and even malware.

Therefore, via websites like trexvideo[.]biz - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue sites; juicycelebinfo[.]comturnon-yourprotect[.]siteinvestdigest[.]xyz, and freshyearmarts[.]shop are just a few examples of our latest finds.

These webpages deliver browser notifications that primarily endorse deceptive and malicious content. Any legitimate products encountered through these adverts are highly unlikely to be promoted in this manner by their developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did trexvideo[.]biz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely visited trexvideo[.]biz and permitted it to display them by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not enable suspicious websites to display them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options. Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your browser keeps randomly force-opening dubious sites without prompt - it might be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, 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.
