Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated countless rogue pages; iwheenaiga[.]combestrecgetpreview[.]com, and carenotifsolution[.]xyz are merely a couple of examples. Websites of this kind can vary drastically in appearance and use different methods to lure users into enabling browser notification delivery.

It must be stressed that while legitimate products or services may be encountered through these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the promoted content's affiliate programs.

How did moltenmoldmaster[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

You have likely accessed moltenmoldmaster[.]com at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage. Remember that no website can deliver browser notifications without user consent.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a dubious webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to unreliable/questionable websites, check the browser and system for installed adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
