Rankcaptcha.top is a website that operates several subdomains such as a.rankcaptcha.top, b.rankcaptcha.top, c.rankcaptcha.top, and others.

Rankcaptcha.top claims that clicking "Allow" on its "Show notifications" pop-up will help users verify that they are not bots.

This is quite annoying and there is no way to stop it unless you remove certain settings from browsers. Unfortunately, most antiviruses just won't detect malicious activity, because often it is just modified setting in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

Apps 2.2 is a suspicious extension that may get installed in your browser (usually in Chrome) without consent.

Browser Opinion Survey is a scam-type web page that displays a fake Annual Visitor Survey claiming users will get a chance to win a $1000 Amazon Giftcard (or other flashy prizes) if they fill out a survey. After doing it, users are redirected to the next page where they can ostensibly get their prize. Clicking on buttons related to prize-claiming can therefore lead to various fill-out forms where users may be asked to enter various kinds of personal information (e.g., e-mail addresses, credit card details, home addresses, etc.). Do not trust such pages and never enter sensitive data on them. The entered data may be collected and thereafter used for bombarding users with spam campaigns or different scamming techniques. Thus, if you visited Browser Opinion Survey or a similar web page, close it immediately and do not believe what it says. In rarer cases, pages promoting Browser Opinion Survey may open persistently in a browser despite users' attempts to close it. If this is your case, then it is likely that you have adware or some other unwanted infection operating within your system.
