Threat Database Adware Gettingyourcontent.com

Gettingyourcontent.com

Gettingyourcontent.com is a deceptive website that can be encountered on both computers and smart devices. The site's main purpose is to gain certain browser permissions by tricking users into subscribing to its push notification services unknowingly. This particular behavior has been observed in countless pages dedicated to proliferating these browser-based tactics.

The deceiving pages rely on misleading alerts or warning messages that try to lure users into clicking the 'Allow' button under different pretenses. The exact text of the displayed messages depends on the specific scenario:

‘Click Allow to watch the video’

‘Click Allow to download your file’

‘Press Allow to verify that you are not a robot!’

If Gettingyourcontent.com is successful, it will then abuse its newly gained browser permissions to run an intrusive ad campaign. The annoying advertisements could impact the user experience on the device significantly, as they may continue to appear even if the Web browser itself has been shut down completely. Furthermore, the displayed advertisements should not be trusted. They might lead to more misleading pages, phishing schemes, sites spreading PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) and more.

In most cases, users can stop Gettingyourcontent.com, and all the other scam pages of this type, by revoking their browser permissions. Depending on your particular browser model, you may need to navigate to either the 'Permissions' or 'Notifications' menu to do so.
