Gamenaps.com

Posted: February 10, 2020

Gamenaps.com is a bogus page that hosts fraudulent pages whose goal is to trick visitors into allowing Gamenaps.com to use their Web browser's push notifications. This may sound like a rather harmless activity, but we assure you that allowing Gamenaps.com to display push notifications can be a very annoying issue to deal with. While the website cannot cause any harm, it may annoy you a lot by displaying regular notifications that promote dodgy products, services and websites. Depending on your Web browser's configuration, you may end up seeing Gamenaps.com's notifications on your smartphone too.

To acquire the permissions it needs to display notifications, Gamenaps.com may display a fake video player that pretends to be loading a piece of media that visitors were trying to access. After a few seconds, the website displays a prompt, which states that the user has to click 'Allow' to view the embedded media – this is the primary part of the scheme, and you can rest assured that clicking 'Allow' will not play any video. The only thing this does is to allow Gamenaps.com to use your Web browser's notifications for its advertising campaign.

If you have made the mistake to give Gamenaps.com permissions, then we advise you to put an end on the issue as soon as possible by using your Web browser's settings panel to revoke all of Gamenaps.com's permissions.
