Quick Answer: rdxgo.click is a domain that Malwarebytes has flagged as associated with phishing. Public reports describe it as a landing page in redirect chains, as a source of browser notification spam (fake "Click Allow" prompts), and as a domain associated with phishing and malware detections. The verified vendor entry does not identify a legitimate service behind it. People usually end up there after a redirect from a deceptive ad, a low-quality or compromised website, or a pop-up. If you land on it, close the tab, do not click Allow or enter any information, revoke any notification permission it received, and scan your device. If you run a website or buy ads, treat it as a sign of malvertising or low-quality traffic: trace which ad, script, or placement is sending people there, block it, and exclude the source.
This article references a public vendor detection entry checked in October 2026. Domains like this change quickly, so check current threat intelligence before acting on any single report. It is written for defense and investigation, and it does not explain how to run such campaigns.
What is rdxgo.click?
rdxgo.click is a website on the .click top-level domain. Redirect and notification-spam reports describe the following warning signs; a vendor classification does not establish that every visit exhibits each behavior:
- It is rarely visited on purpose. People are sent there by something else.
- It acts as a landing or intermediate page in a redirect chain.
- It asks for browser notification permission using misleading prompts, such as telling visitors to click Allow to continue or to watch a video.
- It is blocked or flagged by Malwarebytes.
The verified Malwarebytes entry does not identify a legitimate service or establish who operates the domain. Treat claims about its owner with caution.
What does a verified security source say?
Malwarebytes identifies rdxgo.click as associated with phishing and describes it as a landing page in a redirect chain. This is a vendor assessment, not a finding about who operates the domain. Domain behavior and security classifications can change; check current threat intelligence before taking action. Read the Malwarebytes detection entry.
Is rdxgo.click a virus?
Not exactly. Based on the reports, rdxgo.click is better described as a malicious or deceptive website, not a virus that installs itself by being visited. The main risks are:
- Notification spam. If you click Allow, the site can send push notifications that appear outside the browser window, often with scam alerts, fake antivirus warnings, or ads.
- Further redirects. The page can pass you on to scam, phishing, fake security software, or unwanted download pages.
- Phishing and data theft. If you enter information on a page you are redirected to, it can be stolen.
- Unwanted software. Following prompts to install "protection" or "updates" can lead to adware or malware.
Many websites labelled "removal guides" describe it as a "virus." Visiting a page is generally much lower risk than clicking Allow, downloading a file, or entering information, but you should still treat the domain as hostile.
How do people end up on rdxgo.click?
- A deceptive or malicious ad redirects the browser
- A low-quality or compromised website sends visitors there, or loads a script that does
- A pop-up or pop-under opens it in a new tab
- A push notification from another unwanted site links to it
- A browser extension or app with adware behavior redirects traffic
- A mobile app that shows aggressive ads opens it in an in-app browser
- A link in a spam email, message, or search result
What should you do if you landed on rdxgo.click?
- Close the tab. Do not click Allow, Continue, or any button on the page. If the tab will not close, close the browser from the task manager, then reopen without restoring the tabs.
- Do not enter personal information, and do not download or run anything offered.
- Check notification permissions and remove it if it appears (see below).
- Scan your device with reputable security software.
- Review browser extensions and uninstall any you do not recognize.
- Check installed programs and apps for anything you did not add.
- Update your browser and operating system.
- If you entered a password or other details on a page you were redirected to, change that password from a clean device and enable multi-factor authentication.
- If you installed something, disconnect from the network, run a full scan, and consider a reset if the device behaves strangely.
How do you remove notification permissions?
The menus change by version, but the path is similar in most browsers:
- Chrome (desktop): Settings, Privacy and security, Site settings, Notifications. Find the site and choose Remove or Block.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions, Notifications. Remove or block the site.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy & Security, Permissions, Notifications, Settings. Remove the site.
- Safari (Mac): Settings, Websites, Notifications. Remove or deny the site.
- Chrome on Android: Settings, Site settings, Notifications, and block the site, or use the notification's own settings menu to turn off notifications from that site.
If you do not see the site listed but still get spam notifications, check for another site that has permission, a suspicious extension, or an app with notification access.
What if rdxgo.click shows up in your website or ad data?
If you run a website, buy ads, or manage campaigns, a domain like this appearing in your data is a flag worth investigating.
Where you might see it
- As a referrer or traffic source in analytics
- As the destination of a redirect from one of your pages or ads
- In browser developer tools (the Network tab) when you load your own site
- In ad creative scans or ad quality reports
- In placement or domain reports from your ad platform
- In content security policy (CSP) violation reports or firewall logs
- In customer complaints about unexpected pop-ups or redirects
How to investigate for website owners and publishers
- Reproduce safely. Use a clean browser profile or an isolated test device, and check from the same device types, countries, and referrers where visitors report problems. Redirects sometimes only appear for certain users, so they may not show up on your first try.
- Inspect network requests. Load your page with developer tools open and look for requests or redirects to unfamiliar domains.
- Identify the source. Disable third-party tags, ad slots, and widgets one at a time, then re-test to see which one triggers the redirect.
- Check ad networks and creatives. Ask your ad partners to trace the creative or demand source and block it. Use ad quality or creative-scanning tools if you have them.
- Scan for compromise. Review recently changed files, plugins, themes, injected scripts, redirect rules in server configuration, and unknown admin users. Update all software, and change passwords and API keys if you suspect a breach.
- Block and monitor. Remove malicious resources and restrict allowed origins through CSP directives; apply DNS, firewall, or partner blocklists where appropriate, and keep monitoring for new domains, since these networks often rotate through many.
- Report it. Report the domain to browser safe-browsing services and the registrar or hosting provider, and tell your ad partners.
How to investigate for advertisers
- Check where it appears in reports. Look at placement, domain, referrer, and app reports in your ad platform and in analytics.
- Compare clicks with real behavior. If traffic from this source has very short sessions, no scroll, no conversions, or unusual geographies, investigate possible low quality or invalid activity; these signals alone are not proof.
- Exclude it. Add exclusions or blocks for the domain and any related placements, and prefer allowlists for important spend.
- Ask your platform and partners how that traffic was sourced, and which publishers, exchanges, or sub-publishers delivered it.
- Verify the supply chain. Check
ads.txt,sellers.json, and supply chain information for the sources involved. - Keep evidence such as screenshots, logs, dates, and report exports, and request credits for invalid traffic where your contract or platform allows.
- Review traffic types. Pop, redirect, and push traffic can bring a lot of clicks with little intent, so compare it with search or social traffic, and decide whether you want it at all.
- Add independent verification and click fraud protection to catch repeat sources.
What warning signs suggest a redirect or notification-spam source?
| Sign | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Visitors report being sent to unfamiliar sites after clicking a link or ad | Possible malicious ad or injected script |
| Browser permission prompts that do not match the page's content | Common notification spam tactic |
| Prompts that say "Click Allow to continue" or to watch a video | Misleading prompts |
| Sudden traffic from unknown domains with near-zero engagement | Low-quality or invalid traffic |
| Redirects that happen only on some devices, countries, or browsers | Targeted or cloaked delivery |
| Pop-ups, pop-unders, or new tabs opening without clicks | Aggressive ad behavior |
| New referrers with very short sessions and high bounce | Forced or accidental visits |
| Complaints from users about spam notifications after visiting your site | A third-party script or ad may be responsible |
Common mistakes
- Visiting the domain on your main device to "see what it is."
- Clicking Allow on a prompt just to make the page go away.
- Assuming a pop-up scan result or "virus warning" from a website is real.
- Paying for software offered by the same page.
- Removing only the domain from notification settings while leaving the extension or app that caused the redirect.
- Blocking one domain and assuming the problem is solved, when the redirect network rotates domains.
- Treating traffic spikes with no engagement as a success.
- Not checking ad creatives and third-party scripts after visitors complain.
Quick checklist
If you are a visitor
- Closed the tab and did not click Allow
- Notification permission removed
- Browser extensions and installed apps reviewed
- Device scanned and updated
- Passwords changed if information was entered
If you run a site or buy ads
- Redirect reproduced safely and source identified
- Third-party tags, ad slots, and creatives checked
- Site scanned for compromise and software updated
- Domain blocked and monitored, with partners notified
- Traffic from the source segmented and judged by engagement and conversions
- Credits requested for invalid traffic where possible
- Independent verification and click fraud protection in place
FAQ
What is rdxgo.click?
It is a domain that public security reports describe as part of redirect chains and browser notification spam, and that some security tools block as phishing or malware-related. The verified vendor entry does not identify a legitimate service behind it.
Is rdxgo.click safe?
No. Malwarebytes flags it as associated with phishing, and it should not be treated as a trustworthy website. Do not click Allow, enter information, or download anything from it.
Is rdxgo.click a virus?
It is a deceptive website, not a virus by itself. The risks come from notification spam, redirects to scam or phishing pages, and any software you are tricked into installing.
Can I get infected just by visiting it?
Visiting a page is generally lower risk than allowing notifications or running downloads, but no malicious site should be visited casually, and outdated browsers can be exposed to additional risks. Keep your browser and system updated.
I clicked Allow. What should I do?
Remove the site's notification permission in your browser settings, check for unfamiliar extensions or apps, scan your device, and avoid interacting with any notifications you received from it.
Why do I keep getting rdxgo.click pop-ups?
Common causes are a notification permission you granted, a malicious ad or low-quality site you visit often, an unwanted extension, or an app with aggressive ads. Check notification permissions first, then extensions and installed software.
Does rdxgo.click appearing in my analytics mean my site is hacked?
Not necessarily. It can come from an ad, a third-party script, or traffic sent by another site. It is a reason to investigate, including checking your site for compromise.
Who owns rdxgo.click?
The verified vendor entry does not establish who operates the domain, and registration details can be hidden or misleading. Avoid repeating ownership claims you cannot verify.
Should I block rdxgo.click?
Use DNS or firewall filtering and ad exclusions where appropriate. CSP uses allowlisted origins rather than a simple denylist; review the relevant directives and remove the script causing the redirect. Also look for the source of the redirect, since these networks often change domains.
Can this kind of traffic be ad fraud?
Forced redirects, pop traffic, and notification traffic can be low quality, and some of it is invalid. Whether it counts as fraud depends on how it was sold and delivered, so compare it with engagement and conversions and ask your partners for details.
How do I check a suspicious domain safely?
Do not open it on your main device. Use reputable URL scanners and threat-intelligence lookups, check domain age through registration data, and test only in an isolated environment if you need to see the page.
Next Steps
Malwarebytes flags rdxgo.click for phishing and describes redirect-chain activity; notification-spam symptoms should be investigated separately. Visitors should avoid interacting with it, revoke any permission it received, and scan their devices. Website owners and advertisers should treat it as a clue: find the ad, script, or placement that sends people there, block it, and judge their traffic by engagement and conversions, not raw clicks.
