Users primarily access pages like besteasyclick[.]com through redirects caused by sites employing rogue advertising networks.
Besteasyclick[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue webpages (i.e., what they host and/or promote) may differ depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.
At the time of research, the besteasyclick[.]com page used fake CAPTCHA verification to push its browser notifications. To elaborate, the webpage depicted a robot beside text instructing to – "Click Allow if you are not a robot". If a visitor is deceived by these instructions, they will unintentionally allow besteasyclick[.]com to display notifications (ads).
After we clicked the "Allow" button, it resulted in a redirect to a type of site typically used to promote adware, browser hijackers, PUAs, and other dubious software.
Rogue websites used their browser notifications to run intrusive advert campaigns. These advertisements endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware. Therefore, through pages like besteasyclick[.]com – users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
Declinerybelfa[.]buzz, continue-to-read[.]com, and swatonquoust[.]com are merely a couple examples of rogue webpages that we have investigated recently. Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content.
It must be stressed that while legitimate products and services can be encountered via these adverts are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers or other official parties. Instead, it is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did besteasyclick[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites need user consent to display browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing these ads from besteasyclick[.]com – it means that you have likely visited this page and permitted their delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.
Should your browser continuously force-open questionable websites without prompt, it could be due to the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
