Notadsreviews.com is the site that tries to trick people into interacting with the possibly damaging sites

Notadsreviews.com

Notadsreviews.com ads can cause redirects and notifications coming from other ad-supported pages. The content is exposing users to particular material online that leads to other dangerous pages, so the machine is continuously showing ads, and sponsored material. The PUP that controls these processes is designed for this purpose alone.

The adware[1] that is running on the machine and causing all those Notadsreviews.com ads and push notifications can trigger changes in various system folders and parts like the registry. If these files are added or keys altered, the machine runs the potentially unwanted application with each reboot and ensures that adware is launched even when the browser is not actively used.

This is why you see those desktop notifications when the web browsing tools are not even opened. Clicking on them constantly and interacting with other browser pop-ups can lead to infection distribution. These PUPs can expose you to malware-laced pages and trigger more serious infections than unwanted applications.

Adware in detail

Notadsreviews.com notifications show the content from other pages and advertising services. These applications can deliver spam directly to your screen, so the content that is seen first is the commercial pop-up or banner. This intrusive advertising creates speed and performance issues too.

You need to note that the page and those notifications or pop-up ads are appearing due to the PUP running in the background. The infection needs to be terminated to stop the behavior that is constantly diminishing the time online. The site is not malicious, but fake errors, misleading claims, and deceptive reroute can lead to pages where malware is distributed with one or two clicks on the dangerous layer.

Name Notadsreviews.com 
Type Adware, push notifications virus, redirect
Category Potentially unwanted program
Issues Pop-up ads and redirects expose the user to advertising campaigns and possibly dangerous online material
IP address 34.237.164.122
Distribution Freeware download pages, insecure installation process, other PUPs

System repair Try to solve performance issues with the scan on the system using FortectIntego

Those desktop notifications that Notadsreviews.com delivers are designed to attract you and trick you into allowing the additional content coming from advertising services and fake news sites or commercial platforms. Unfortunately, this adware that most likely is running on the machine cannot control the content delivery, so the responsibility is falling on each commercial content page.

Pop-ups with encouragement to allow the content, so the file could be downloaded or video opened can lead to major dangerous platforms, and not you nor the adware developer can be responsible for the outcome after these pages get visited. You are encouraged to avoid suspicious content. Experts[2] always recommend ignoring these pop-ups.

The site displays deceptive content and tries to trick people into allowing these notifications that redirect to additional untrustworthy sites. The page is based on rogue advertisements and ad-supported pages that deliver messages asking for agreement to deliver additional content.

Those Notadsreviews.com ads even trick people into believing that the machine is infected or has major problems that need to be solved with the promoted tool. Do not fall for these fake tricks because installation of such fake security tools can damage the machine further.
