Bestdailyrewards.com exploits less IT-savvy users for profit

Bestdailyrewards.com is a bogus website that was created for the purpose of generating revenue with pay-per-click advertising.^[1] It is one out of thousands of push notification spam pages floating around the Internet, waiting for people to press the “Allow” button.

However, it does this by using deceptive tactics – making people think that they are verifying their identity. When the page opens, one message can be seen on the screen with a friendly-looking robot. It asks to verify users that they are not robots. Instead, they are made to press a button which grants permission for the website to show push notifications.

People begin getting spammed with annoying pop-up ads that can lead to dangerous pages. The developers of this site do not care about user privacy or security so they do not filter which ads can show up on your screen. Links embedded in the pop-ups can result in monetary losses, PUP (potentially unwanted program),^[2] and malware installations.

Why are you seeing Bestdailyrewards.com?

Sites like this can rarely be found in the search results. Most of the time they are promoted through shady advertising networks that can place ads on pages that are unregulated. Usually, these are websites that engage in illegal activities. The best example would be illegal streaming platforms.^[3]

They are full of deceptive ads and sneaky redirects that open new tabs unexpectedly. You may also encounter fake “Download” and “Play” buttons that are actually advertisements. If you click on one of them, and Bestdailyrewards.com opens in a new tab, some people might easily think that they need to perform this captcha verification step in order to watch the movie or TV show they have selected.

That is why it is best to avoid such pages and be careful while surfing the web. Do not click on random links, make sure they are safe first. Also, you should never have to allow push notifications to receive something. If you are asked to do so, it is better to find another page, because you have probably been redirected to one of these sites.

All of the pages that you visit use cookies^[4] to track your browsing activities. Generally, this is not a bad thing as it helps websites to personalize the user experience but in some cases, it can cause a lot of issues. If the pages you visit do not have strong security, cookies can be hacked and stolen which has happened in the past. Untrustworthy pages can also sell them to advertising networks that use them to target you with more ads.

That is why it is important to clear your browser regularly. This can be automated with a maintenance tool like FortectIntego. It does not only delete all cookies and cache but can also fix system damage, errors, registry issues which is especially helpful after virus infections.

Use professional security tools

A system without an antivirus is just like a house without a door. According to some security experts, pop-up ads and spam websites are one the most used gateways by viruses to infect your computer and then damage your files. Once you block the notifications, there is still a chance that there is adware hiding in your system. You might be experiencing an increased amount of commercial content like surveys, banners, pop-ups, and redirects.

If you have any of these symptoms, we strongly suggest deploying professional security tools like SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes to scan your machine. They can detect suspicious processes happening in your machine and eliminate all the related files. What is more, it can prevent such infections in the future by warning you about a suspicious download.

You can also remove programs manually, but it can be difficult to identify PUPs as they are often disguised as handy tools that you use every day. It may look like antivirus software, system optimizer, media player, etc. Besides, you may uninstall the correct program, but it can leave some traces behind which can result in a renewal of the infection, so we think that anti-malware tools are the best option for average users.
