What is Comadshome.com ads?

Comadshome.com asks users to confirm they aren't robots only to deliver intrusive ads later

Comadshome.com is a fake website that can start showing malicious ads directly on desktop

If you've been noticing Comadshome.com ads suddenly appearing on your device, don't worry – you can remove them easily enough. These ads primarily show up in web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and MS Edge on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and mobile devices running Android or iOS. To get rid of the ads for good, simply change some settings in your browser of choice.

Many people think Comadshome.com ads are the result of a computer virus. While it's true that adware^[1] might be the root cause of browser redirects and increased ad activity, the real issue is allowing a malicious website to show push notifications without any restrictions. Therefore, removing push notifications can only be done manually, as we explain in more detail below.

Fake messages used by scammers

Online scammers use schemes in which they present users with information that can be misinterpreted to help them achieve their goals. For example, by using unexpected redirect routes, crooks can catch people off guard, and better exploit them. When people land on Comadshome.com, they're immediately met with one of the following fake messages:

• Please tap Allow to continue
• Click “Allow” to start downloading
• Press “Allow” to verify, that you are not a robot
• Can't play this video! Perhaps your browser doesn't allow video playback. Please click the Allow button to watch the video
• If you are 18+, click Allow
• Click “Allow” to win a prize and get it in our shop!

Comadshome.com uses various popular phrases to lure users into pressing the "Allow" button

Because many users are already familiar with captchas and age-restricted sites, social engineering techniques used here can seem like nothing more than a hindrance that needs to be bypassed. The familiarity people have with these types of checks is one of the main benefits of using social engineering in this way.

As soon as users press the “Allow” button, they will permit Comadshome.com to deliver any kind of information via the push notification API^[2] within the browser. Thus, as long as it is running, these messages can be delivered at any time without warning.

How users encounter malicious content online

Cybercriminals are fully conscious that very few individuals would deliberately access websites that might threaten their safety and the security of their computers. In fact, it is unlikely (but not inconceivable) to encounter a harmful website by using a search engine like Google or casually browsing sites deemed reputable.

When users go to websites with origins that can't be verified, problems occur. For example, people who want to get around paying for Windows or other software by finding cracks could end up on fraudulent sites and getting their computers infected with harmful malware – like ransomware. This would encrypt all personal files and then demand payment to decrypt them, resulting in serious damage to victims.

The adware problem

Adware might also force users to go to Comadshome.com or a related site. This type of software specializes in advertising, often at the cost of the app's functionality. As a result, people can be diverted to potentially dangerous or misleading websites, such as those specializing in push notification scams.

Since adware is often unknowingly installed on devices via software bundling^[3] and other misleading means, many people may not realize it's there. SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner and Malwarebytes are both excellent tools for removing adware – but first, you need to make sure that anti-malware is brought to the latest version.

We recommend scanning the computer with a repair and maintenance tool FortectIntego after removing any malware, as this can help fix system damage and remove leftover files. The app can also clear browser caches for better privacy and remove junk from the system.

Removal of Comadshome.com ads

To discontinue those pesky pop-up ads, you will need to go into the settings part of your internet browser. Although push notifications aren't themselves harmful, they might have links that are malicious based on the website they're coming from. That being said, anti-malware software wouldn't be able to find and get rid of them for you, so it's something you'll have to take care of yourself.
