What kind of page is asxerk[.]click?

While inspecting questionable websites, we discovered the asxerk[.]click rogue webpage. It runs scams, promotes browser notification spam, and redirects visitors to other (likely unreliable/malicious) sites. Users typically access such pages through redirects caused by websites that use rogue advertising networks.

Asxerk[.]click overview

When we checked asxerk[.]click, it promoted the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam. It is pertinent to mention that the behavior of rogue webpages (i.e., what they load/promote) might depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.

The scheme run on asxerk[.]click is presented as the McAfee anti-virus that performs a system scan and detects nonexistent threats. It must be stressed that all these claims are false, and they are in no way associated with the actual McAfee.

Furthermore, no website can detect threats or issues present on visitors' devices - hence, any that make such claims are scams. In most cases, schemes of this kind endorse unreliable, fraudulent, and malicious applications.

Asxerk[.]click also requested visitors to allow it to deliver browser notifications. Rogue sites use them to run intrusive ad campaigns. These notifications/advertisements promote online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware.

To summarize, through sites like asxerk[.]click - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Ivonch[.]clickcatchlucksurvey[.]toptime-delta[.]xyz, and milipili[.]click are merely some examples of rogue webpages that we have analyzed recently.

These sites deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive/malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these ads are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to obtain commissions fraudulently.

How did asxerk[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered asxerk[.]click and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option - thus enabling this page to display these advertisements.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not permit suspect websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, it could be caused by adware installed onto the browser or 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.

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.
