Removal instructions for the notifications/ads delivered by getarrectlive.com

What kind of page is getarrectlive[.]com?

Getarrectlive[.]com is a rogue page that our researchers discovered during a routine inspection of suspicious websites. It operates by promoting browser notification spam and redirecting visitors to different (likely unreliable/malicious) webpages.

Most users enter pages like getarrectlive[.]com through redirects caused by sites using rogue advertising networks, misspelled URLs, spam notifications, intrusive ads, or installed adware.

Getarrectlive[.]com overview

It is pertinent to mention that the content encountered on and via rogue websites might be dictated by the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we investigated the getarrectlive[.]com page, it hosted a fake CAPTCHA verification test. To elaborate, the webpage depicted an image of a robot beside the following instructions – "Click Allow if you are not a robot".

If deceived by this "test", the user will inadvertently permit getarrectlive[.]com to display browser notifications. These adverts endorse various scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware.

After we pressed the "Allow" button, we were redirected to a type of site usually used to proliferate adware, browser hijackers, PUAs, and other dubious software.

To summarize, through pages like getarrectlive[.]com – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Device-defense[.]com, bringmesedline[.]com, etingplansfo[.]buzz, and datingmint[.]top are merely some examples of rogue webpages that we have investigated recently. These sites deliver browser notifications that predominantly promote deceptive/malicious material.

It must be stressed that while legitimate products or services may be encountered through these advertisements – they are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications (ads) without user permission. Hence, you've likely visited getarrectlive[.]com and permitted the advertisement delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

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

It is noteworthy that adware can generate rogue redirects to suspicious webpages. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
