How Ro06.biz adware works

Ro06.biz shows pop-up ads

Ro06.biz gets access to people’s browsers. Then it forces them to display ads.

Though Ro06.biz is a website, it doesn’t have any content or features that you’d expect a website to have. All it does is deliver notifications from advertisers to everyone who happens to be subscribed to Ro06.biz’s ads.

Notifications are great when a chat app uses them to alert me about a new message or when a video site alerts me about a new stream starting. Unfortunately, there’s not much stopping sites like Ro06.biz from using the same notifications to deliver obnoxious sponsored content.

Ro06.biz’s ads also tend to be lower quality than the ads you see on reputable websites. The pop-ups might lead to dangerous sites:

• Scams, including tech support scams, fake giveaways, and get-rich-quick schemes.
• Malicious and low-reputation programs and browser extensions, including various PC optimizers and search hijackers.
• Ads for gambling sites and adult content that some consider unsuitable for children.

Not to say that showing safe ads would make Ro06.biz any less bad. This website is just an advertising spammer and there’s nothing that would redeem it.

People don’t subscribe to it voluntarily

One subscribes to Ro06.biz by clicking the “Allow” button that Ro06.biz presents to them. This “Allow” button is part of the notifications prompt that web browsers display when a website wants to get your permission to send you notifications.

But people don’t tend to agree to receive notifications from websites. According to Mozilla’s testing, about 99% of notification prompts go unaccepted. So, how does Ro06.biz manage to catch web browsers?

It shows the prompt and then lies about what the “Allow” button does. Here are some of the messages that Ro06.biz might show:

• It implies that you must subscribe to notifications in order to access content. This is very rarely true. Adf.ly, a URL shortener, might do this sometimes. But most sites that show this message are trying to trick people.
• Ro06.biz says that you must click the button in order to verify that you’re not a robot, confirm your age, etc.
• It might suggest that you must click “Allow” to close the page.

It’s very easy to fall for these tricks, especially if you’re tired or distracted. Sites like Video-call.live, Coolnews.xyz, and others also use the same tricks to get people to allow their ads.

How to stop ads from Ro06.biz

Among the ads that Ro06.biz shows are promotions for malicious browser extensions and unwanted software, so it’s a good idea to scan your device with antivirus tools to check it for malware.
