What is Bestntmads24.com ads?

Bestntmads24.com is a bogus page designed by crooks to profit from pay-per-click advertising

Crooks can use social engineering to trick users into performing various actions

Bestntmads24.com was created to profit from user interaction via pay-per-click advertising. Social engineering techniques^[1] are used by scammers to fool people into clicking the “Allow” button to confirm they are not robots, tricking them into subscribing to push notifications. But all that's on the website are fake pictures and text.

In addition, the culprits employ rogue advertising networks^[2] to show advertisements that lead viewers to potentially dangerous websites. People may unintentionally go up on scam pages that are meant to obtain private information, including credit card details, or trick them into downloading malware or potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).^[3]

Distribution methods

Bestntmads24.com is one example of a notification spam page that rarely shows up in search results. Usually, they are hosted on untrustworthy and unregulated websites. On illegal streaming sites, for example, misleading redirects and deceptive advertising are commonplace. Fake “Download” or “Play” buttons can lead users who are trying to stream movies or TV series illegally to pop-up spam pages that use social engineering techniques to fool them.

It is strongly advised that you only click on links and advertisements from reputable and well-known websites. Before clicking on anything, if you are unsure about the legitimacy of a product or service, do some research. Go for official streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video for the highest level of security. These services offer a small monthly subscription price that guarantees a safe viewing experience.

Avoid browsing through unknown websites to minimize the risk of spam

Clear your browsers

You should close your web browser after seeing a push notification page. Websites collect and retain information on visitors, clicks on links, IP addresses, geolocation, and online purchases using a variety of tracking techniques, including cookies.

Although cookies have many advantages, such helping websites to provide users with personalized content, they are also commonly used to sell user data to advertising networks and other outside parties. Use a maintenance tool like FortectIntego to address this. This software can erase any data that has already been acquired and stop cookies from tracking with a single click.

Scan your system for adware

Potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) can also be the cause of unwanted browser activity. Occasionally, websites such as Bestntmads24.com may appear without any input from users. One kind of software called adware causes the computer to automatically produce promotional content. Since many of these apps pose as “handy” utilities, it can be harder for regular users to recognize them.

Robust security measures are essential for any PC, acting as a shield to keep your system safe. Anti-malware programs can search your computer and find strange background processes that could indicate the presence of harmful files trying to access your system. Consider doing a full system scan with expert security tools like SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes if you are still experiencing unwanted symptoms.
