Captcha2020.com

Captcha2020.com is an untrustworthy website designed to deliver dubious content to anyone who lands on it. The scenario performed by the website depends on the geolocation of the visitor. In some cases, users will be redirected to other, similarly suspicious websites while others may be subjected to a popular browser-based tactic that requires them to click the 'Allow' button. Doing so will grant the website the permissions it requires to start generating unwanted and intrusive advertisements on the affected system. As part of the tactic, Captcha2020.com might also attempt to extract personal information such as phone numbers from its visitors under the pretense that it is performing a check for bots.

It goes without saying that none of the redirects or advertisements delivered by Captcha2020.com should be taken at face value. Indeed, users might be brought to pages pushing numerous various PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that in most cases consist of adware applications or browser hijackers. Download pages for fake software updates hiding serious malware threats inside them are also not that uncommon.

To stop the activity of Captcha2020.com, users will have to revoke all of the permissions granted to the website by opening the Settings menu of their browser and going to either the 'Permissions' or 'Notifications' section.
