What kind of page is onesoftwareupdater[.]com?

Our researchers found the onesoftwareupdater[.]com rogue webpage while looking through untrustworthy sites. This page promotes browser notification spam and can redirect visitors to other (likely dubious/malicious) websites. At the time of research, onesoftwareupdater[.]com used fake CAPTCHA verification to trick users into enabling the browser notification delivery. Most users access such pages via redirects caused by sites that use rogue advertising networks.

Onesoftwareupdater[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue webpages might depend on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information may determine the content encountered on and through these websites.

When we inspected onesoftwareupdater[.]com, it presented us with bogus CAPTCHA verification. The page attempts to deceive visitors into enabling browser notifications by stating in German - "Klicken Sie auf Zulassen, wenn Sie kein Roboter sind"; roughly translated, this text instructs visitors to click the "Allow" button and thus prove that they are not a robot.

If users attempt to complete this fake verification process, they will inadvertently allow onesoftwareupdater[.]com to deliver browser notifications. The displayed advertisements promote online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and malware.

To summarize, through sites like onesoftwareupdater[.]com - users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected countless rogue webpages; full-mark[.]xyzmysecuritydatabase[.]live, and alltopspot[.]com are a few examples.

These websites deliver browser notifications (ads) endorsing deceptive and malicious material. It is noteworthy that any legitimate content encountered through these advertisements is unlikely to be promoted by its actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are receiving these adverts from onesoftwareupdater[.]com - it means that you've likely visited this webpage and consented to their delivery (i.e., clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

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

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious webpages without prompt, it could 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.
