Removal instructions for notifications/ads delivered by overheatusa.com

What kind of page is overheatusa[.]com?

Overheatusa[.]com is a rogue site that we discovered while investigating dubious webpages. It promotes browser notification spam and redirects visitors to different (likely unreliable/hazardous) websites. Most users enter such pages through redirects caused by websites using rogue advertising networks.

Overheatusa[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue sites might vary depending on visitors' IP addresses (geolocations). In other words, this information may determine the content encountered on and via such webpages.

When we investigated overheatusa[.]com, we found that it has two appearance variants, both of which employ fake CAPTCHA verification. The two versions depicted images of robots and had the following instructions – "Click Allow if you are not a robot".

However, instead of serving as an identity verification test, the "Allow" button enables overheatusa[.]com to deliver browser notifications. After we pressed this button, we were redirected to the getnomadtblog[.]com webpage that also pushes notification spam.

Rogue sites use browser notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The displayed ads promote online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and malware.

To summarize, through websites like overheatusa[.]com – users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated thousands of rogue webpages; rechanque[.]com, gosteadybuddy[.]store, and topdomainblog[.]com are merely a couple of our newest finds. Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious material.

It is noteworthy that while legitimate products/services can be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed by their developers. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user consent to display browser notifications (ads). Hence, if you are seeing these adverts from overheatusa[.]com – it means that you've likely visited this page at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

It is pertinent to mention that rogue pages often employ deception (e.g., fake CAPTCHA tests, clickbait, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling the notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such pages (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, it could be caused by adware installed on 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.
