What Is Ne17.biz?
Ne17.biz is one of many sketchy websites (others include ne15.biz, ne16.biz, ne18.biz, etc.) which attempt to trick users into turning on push notifications from those sites. Ne17.biz claims that users have to click or tap Allow on its “Show notifications” pop-up box if they want to confirm that they are not robots, start a download, play a video, etc. If a user does click Allow, that will enable Ne17.biz to send notifications to the user’s machine. Ne17.biz notifications will start appearing time and again on the right side of the user’s screen. The notifications will promote shady sites, urge the user to download something, invite him or her to visit questionable websites, etc.
