How to Avoid Odestech.com Ads
Odestech.com is a website that misleads people into allowing it to send notifications.
People usually arrive at these pages accidentally. Our team came across this site when researching pages that use suspicious or rogue advertisement networks. The page displays a message saying visitors must press the "Allow" button to pass a CAPTCHA, which is a way of tricking people into agreeing with the notifications.
After looking into what these notifications involve, we discovered they generally claim the receiver's computer has been infected and then direct them to malicious sites or phishing sites asking for sensitive information and promoting potentially dangerous apps or fake technical support numbers.

How Can Misleading Websites Push Ads into Your Browser?
