Users should not trust the Thefreeadv.com page. Indeed, after analyzing it, cybersecurity researchers have classified the site as a rogue page, dedicated to the proliferation of a popular browser-based tactic. Indeed, the site is not interested in providing any meaningful content to its visitors. Instead, its main function is to trick visitors into unknowingly enabling its push notification services.
To achieve its goal, Thefreeadv.com may pretend to be performing a CAPTCHA check. Users could be presented with an image of a robot and a message similar to:
'Click Allow if you are not a robot'
The implication is clear - users who wish to access the supposed content on the site must press the button to pass a CAPTCHA check. Unfortunately, this is just a ruse, and clicking 'Allow' leads to a completely different result.
Users will start receiving various unwanted and intrusive advertisements while browsing, and in some cases, even when the browser itself is closed. The advertisements could promote various shady pages, additional unsafe destinations, and even PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) with browser hijacker or adware capabilities.
