How to block notifications from proadrast.com

What kind of page is proadrast[.]com?

Our inspection of proadrast[.]com has revealed that the site uses deception to get permission to show notifications. If visitors allow the site to send notifications, they can be exposed to malicious content. Thus, proadrast[.]com and similar web pages should not be trusted or allowed to display notifications.

Proadrast[.]com in detail

The clickbait method used by proadrast[.]com involves a misleading message implying that visitors have to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. If visitors click "Allow", they grant the site permission to show notifications. We have found that these notifications often include fake warnings and similar content.

Proadrast[.]com can send notifications that claim that the user's computer is at risk and urge them to click a link to scan the system. They mimic security warnings by stating that protection is disabled and a critical virus alert has been detected. It is important to note that any legitimate security tools (like Norton) mentioned in these notifications are not associated with them.

The purpose of these notifications is to deceive visitors into clicking the provided links (buttons). If interacted with, they can lead users to potentially malicious pages. Those sites can be used to steal money, deliver unwanted (or malicious) software, collect sensitive information (e.g., banking details or passwords), or for similar purposes.

Therefore, consenting to receive notifications from proadrast[.]com can lead to issues like account hijacking, monetary loss, identity theft, malware infiltration, etc.

Adware can direct users to these pages too. Other examples of sites using clickbait to trick users into allowing notifications are cosollic[.]com, glatcantosm.co[.]in, and olyjuk.co[.]in.

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

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
