What is Conatysystems.com ads?

Conatysystems.com is used by crooks to generate revenue from push notifications

Conatysystems.comThis page should not be trusted by anyone as it uses social engineering

Conatysystems.com is a fake website created by crooks to generate revenue. They use social engineering techniques[1] to trick people into subscribing to push notifications. People start getting spammed with annoying pop-up ads that can appear even when the browser is closed.

Crooks may use rogue advertising networks[2] that place ads leading to dangerous websites. People can get tricked into providing personal information, downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs),[3] and even malware. Users report seeing ads promoting bogus giveaways, surveys, and antivirus software.

Social engineering

Social engineering skills can help fraudsters manipulate people into performing some kind of action. In the case of Conatysystems.com, it asks users to press the “Allow” button to confirm that they are not robots. For many, people, this can remind them of a captcha verification process.

Without thinking, most just press the button but instead of confirming something, they subscribe to notifications. There is no other content to explore on the page besides the deceptive message and image. A legitimate human verification step should never ask people to press “Allow” on a browser prompt.

NAME Conatysystems.com
TYPE Push notification spam; adware
SYMPTOMS Pop-up ads start appearing in the corner of the screen after the “Allow” button is pressed

Distribution methods

Fake sites, like Conatysystems.com are usually hidden on other shady pages that are unregulated. Usually, these are sites that engage in illegal activities, like illegal streaming websites. They are full of deceptive ads and sneaky redirects. They may also display fake “Download” and “Play” buttons.

However, in some cases, such pages can appear without any user input. They can be opened by adware.[4] It is advertising-supported software that can cause an increased amount of commercial content, like pop-ups, banners, and redirects. Mostly, such PUPs are spread through freeware distribution platforms.

They include additional programs in the installers that monetize user activity. It is best to choose the “Custom” or “Advanced” installation methods. Make sure to read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. The most important step is to check the file list and untick the boxes next to any unrelated applications.

Clear your browsers

After an encounter with a shady website, it is strongly recommended to clear your browsers. Websites can use cookies to collect data like your IP address, geolocation, websites you visit, links you click on, and things you purchase online. They can be used to generate revenue by selling them to advertising networks, and other third parties.

We recommend using a maintenance tool like FortectIntego to solve this problem. This powerful software can stop the tracking and delete the existing information. It can also fix serious system errors with a click of a button, which is especially helpful after a virus infection.

How to prevent from getting adware

Do not let government spy on you

The government has many issues in regards to tracking users' data and spying on citizens, so you should take this into consideration and learn more about shady information gathering practices. Avoid any unwanted government tracking or spying by going totally anonymous on the internet. 

You can choose a different location when you go online and access any material you want without particular content restrictions. You can easily enjoy internet connection without any risks of being hacked by using Private Internet Access VPN.

Control the information that can be accessed by government any other unwanted party and surf online without being spied on. Even if you are not involved in illegal activities or trust your selection of services, platforms, be suspicious for your own security and take precautionary measures by using the VPN service.

Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack

Computer users can suffer from data losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings. Ransomware can encrypt and hold files hostage, while unforeseen power cuts might cause a loss of important documents. If you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work. It is also equally important to update backups on a regular basis so that the newest information remains intact – you can set this process to be performed automatically.

When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware strikes out of nowhere. Use Data Recovery Pro for the data restoration process.
