Noticeforyour.com ads (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge) - Tutorial

What is Noticeforyour.com ads?

Noticeforyour.com ads show misleading and malicious messages with links

Noticeforyour.com is a fake website that attempts to trick users into subscribing to push notifications, which can later be used to earn revenue through advertisements. Unfortunately, the pop-ups that come from this website are not secure at all, with phishing messages claiming that users' systems are infected or that they can earn a large sum of money by investing in a get-rich-quick scam scheme.

We recommend not interacting with Noticeforyour.com ads in any capacity. Links can bring you to malware-laden or misleading websites, where you could be tricked in various ways. The activity can also be extremely annoying and intrusive, as push notifications run on the system level, meaning that they can show up at any time, as long as the browser is either being used or is idling in the background.

How you end up on scam websites

The Noticeforyour.com scam begins with its distribution – users need to access it first. It is evident that they would not enter websites of dubious content intentionally, so crooks rely on redirects.

Most commonly, people are rerouted after they click a link on suspicious websites (e.g., X-rated, peer-to-peer networks, software crack sites, and similar) or when they are exposed to a malicious script. To reduce the possibility of that happening, we recommend staying away from sites like these – it is easy to get infected with dangerous malware, such as ransomware, on those.

Alternatively, some people might be victims of adware,^[1] which is a type of potentially unwanted software that could be already running on the affected users' machines. Since adware uses deceptive distribution techniques such as software bundles or fake updates, many users might not even know that they have it running in the background.

The easiest way to check for adware is by performing a full system scan with powerful anti-malware software, such as SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes. Not only can it ensure that most aggressive infections are deleted automatically from the system, but it can also serve as great protection when dealing with incoming malware attacks in the future. Once malware is deleted, we also recommend fixing damaged system files and removing trackers from browsers with FortectIntego repair and maintenance utility.

Noticeforyour.com uses various phishing messages

If you constantly see Noticeforyour.com ads on your desktop, you have likely been tricked by a fake message shown on it. Since the access to the site is often unexpected, users tend to not think much about what they have actually encountered, especially when the message tries to imitate a bypass of some type of imaginary restrictions.

Noticeforyour.com claims that pushing the "Allow" button is needed to verify visitors are human

Users might be told that their browsers are blocking video playback or that they need to confirm they aren't robots. Here are a few examples of messages you could expect on a push notification scam site:

• If you are 18+, click Allow
• Click Allow to start downloading
• Press “Allow” to watch the video
• Click “Allow” to win a prize and get it in our shop!

It is not difficult to see how some users could get confused as, for example, legitimate websites commonly use captcha checks to protect themselves from DDoS attacks.^[2] Note that you could encounter plenty of other scam sites (Cauthaushoas.com, News-gocuco.cc, Bringmeredline.com) which use same messages and techniques.
