How to block streamads-site.com ads

What kind of page is streamads-site[.]com?

Our team has studied streamads-site[.]com and learned that it presents deceptive content to obtain permission to show notifications. If permitted, streamads-site[.]com can send fake warnings and other misleading notifications to promote potentially malicious pages. Thus, streamads-site[.]com should not be trusted.

Streamads-site[.]com in detail

Streamads-site[.]com displays a fake video player and instructs to press "Allow" to watch the video. "Allow" is the option a web browser provides when a website requests permission to send notifications, and clicking it grants the site permission to send those notifications. Sites that use clickbait should never be allowed to send notifications.

We found that notifications from streamads-site[.]com include fake critical virus alerts urging users to scan the system immediately to remove the supposedly detected viruses. These notifications can lead users to phishing sites designed to steal personal information, such as login credentials or financial details.

They can also promote fake tech support sites designed to trick users into believing that their systems are compromised and paying for fake products or services, or taking other actions. Moreover, notifications sent by streamads-site[.]com can direct users to fake lotteries, giveaways, surveys, and other scams, and web pages hosting malware.

Therefore, it is strongly advisable not to allow streamads-site[.]com and similar pages to send notifications and avoid visiting them. If streamads-site[.]com already has permission to show notifications, this permission should be revoked as soon as possible.
