Detainee.biz is a misleading website that attempts to trick you into pressing the allow button on your browser. Visitors are redirected to dangerous content in the browser. There are a huge number of this type of website, all of which have the sole purpose of misleading you into clicking on advertisements.

Users are rarely redirected to Detainee.biz through legitimate websites, they are always websites related to adware and potentially unwanted programs.

Adware causes misleading redirects in the browser and is associated with ad campaigns that collect browser information.

The Detainee.biz website displays misleading text such as “Confirm you are not a robot”, “Click to continue” or “Verify you are not a robot”. When the user clicks the allow button in the browser, push notifications are accepted in the browser.

Push notifications are browser functionality that allows users to view notifications about the web site from which push notifications have been accepted. However, this dangerous website Detainee.biz abuses push notifications to display annoying advertisements in Windows, Mac, phone, or Tablet.

When the user eventually clicks on the Detainee.biz advertisements, the browser is redirected to other rogue websites and redirects. The advertisements may eventually lead to adware infections on your device.

Adware is software specifically designed to steal browser data from your computer. This web browsing data is eventually sold by cybercriminals to make money from it. If you see the Detainee.biz pop-ups in your browser, I recommend that you remove the notifications by Detainee.biz to prevent further malware infections.
