How to stop infolinkdusk.co.in notification spam

What kind of page is infolinkdusk[.]co.in?

Our research team came across infolinkdusk[.]co.in while examining suspicious websites. After looking into this page, we found that it uses a fake CAPTCHA test to trick visitors into allowing browser notifications. Once permitted, it delivers fake security alerts and can redirect users to other (likely unreliable or harmful) sites.

Infolinkdusk[.]co.in in detail

Infolinkdusk[.]co.in shows a dark, almost empty page with a fake reCAPTCHA box containing an "I'm not a robot" checkbox. Above it, faint grey text tells visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots, and the browser tab itself is titled 'Click "Allow"'. Real CAPTCHA checks never ask for notification permissions. Clicking "Allow" here simply lets infolinkdusk[.]co.in send notifications to the device.

It is worth noting that pages like infolinkdusk[.]co.in are usually served from randomly generated subdomains and may show different content depending on the subdomain or URL path. So the fake CAPTCHA in our screenshot may not be the only version visitors encounter. Several other tabs were open during our session, including one promoting a questionable web browser, which suggests the site is part of a wider redirect chain.

Once granted permission, infolinkdusk[.]co.in delivers notifications dressed up as urgent security warnings. One example we observed claimed "Trojan virus detected!" and told the user to "Scan and delete with McAfee", offering "Remove virus now" and "Quick Scan" buttons. It came together with a fake "Microsoft Windows Defender" window stating "TROJAN found in /Win32!". Neither McAfee nor Microsoft has anything to do with these alerts, and a website cannot scan a computer for viruses anyway.

The aim is to scare users into clicking. In most cases, these alerts lead to pages pushing antivirus subscriptions. Even when the advertised product is real, it is most likely being promoted by scammers abusing affiliate programs to earn commissions from each sale. Other notifications may open tech support scam pages that claim the computer is infected and urge users to call a fake helpline.

The people behind such phone numbers typically try to gain remote access to the device, sell worthless "repair" services, or get hold of banking details. Notifications from infolinkdusk[.]co.in can also lead to phishing sites that imitate login pages for email, banking, or social media accounts, as well as pages offering potentially unwanted applications or even malware disguised as security tools.

In summary, if infolinkdusk[.]co.in has been allowed to send notifications, that permission should be revoked as soon as possible. Leaving it active exposes users to scams, unwanted software, possible malware infections, and financial loss.

Browser notification spam in general

Most people do not open sites like infolinkdusk[.]co.in on purpose. They usually get there through redirects caused by rogue advertising networks on torrent, illegal streaming, or adult websites, or after clicking fake download buttons and misleading pop-ups. Spam notifications from other rogue pages, mistyped URLs, and adware installed on the device can also lead there.

Additional examples of websites similar to infolinkdusk[.]co.in are monsyntoribry[.]com, protectsignalarc[.]co.in, and vantanetworktin[.]com.

How did infolinkdusk[.]co.in gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

No website can show browser notifications unless the user approves them first. If alerts from infolinkdusk[.]co.in keep appearing, you (or someone using the device) most likely visited the page and clicked "Allow", believing it was part of a CAPTCHA check.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Treat any page that asks you to click "Allow" to prove you are human, play a video, verify your age, or start a download as a scam. Legitimate verification never works this way. When such a request appears, click "Block" or simply close the tab, and only allow notifications from sites you know and trust.

If unwanted notifications are already showing up, or you keep getting redirected to dubious pages, check your browser for unfamiliar extensions and your computer for suspicious programs. To get rid of them automatically, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why am I seeing ads (browser notifications) delivered by infolinkdusk[.]co.in in the right lower corner of my desktop?

Browsers only display notifications from sites that have been given permission. This means infolinkdusk[.]co.in was most likely opened at some point, and its "Allow" request (disguised as a robot check) was accepted.

I have clicked on notification ads, is my computer infected?

Clicking a notification alone does not infect a computer. However, the pages it opens may host scams or offer harmful downloads, so anything downloaded or entered on those pages could lead to an infection or data theft.

Is infolinkdusk[.]co.in a virus?
