Pointcaptchaspot.com is a potentially unsafe website that wants to trick visitors into subscribing to its browser notifications. This page starts sending countless advertising pop-ups and other third-party content straight to the users' phones or computers in case of a successful subscription. Pointcaptchaspot.com displays a fake CAPTCHA-human verification test saying:
'Pointcaptchaspot.com wants to Show notifications
Click Allow to confirm that you are not a robot!'
If the users fall into that trap and click on the 'Allow' button, they give the compromised page permission to deliver advertising material to their devices, even when no browser is launched. The spam pop-ups advertise online games, websites with adult content, various Potential Unwanted Programs (PUPs), fake software updates and other questionable content. Pages offering such dubious services also could contain corrupted scripts that install malware on their visitors' computers.
Users typically get redirected to websites like Pointcaptchaspot.com by specific harmful programs or other similar compromised websites. You can delete Pointcaptchaspot.com's permission to send you push-notifications by opening your browser's settings and make the necessary changes. Additionally, it is a good idea to scan your device for PUPs through a suitable anti-malware application.
