Adthereis[.]buzz in detail

Adthereis[.]buzz utilizes a deceptive tactic by presenting a fraudulent CAPTCHA to deceive visitors into clicking the "Allow" button. The website falsely claims that this action is necessary to verify their human status. In reality, doing so (clicking the aforementioned button) allows the website to display notifications, which may contain deceptive messages.

We found that notifications from adthereis[.]buzz claim that a computer is infected, urge to remove "detected" viruses, promote shady websites, etc. Clicking these notifications can lead to various untrustworthy sites, including phishing pages, sites hosting adware, and even malicious software.

Furthermore, adthereis[.]buzz can redirect visitors to other untrustworthy websites. One such page is youfilesgoo[.]com. This page instructs visitors to use a download link to download a file. It is likely that youfilesgoo[.]com is used to distribute adware, browser hijackers, or malware. Thus, it is strongly recommended not to trust adthereis[.]buzz, its notifications, and pages opened through it.
