What is todaysdailyreports[.]com?
Typically, users do not visit websites such as todaysdailyreports[.]com intentionally - they are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers and/or computers. They are classified as PUAs because most users download and install them inadvertently.
Additionally, PUAs can serve ads and gather browsing data (or other details). Other examples of websites similar to todaysdailyreports[.]com are helgminers[.]com, studience[.]club and greendsign[.]com.
When opened/visited, pages such as todaysdailyreports[.]com open other (about two, three) untrusted pages or load dubious content. In most cases, these pages use 'clickbait' techniques to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button and allowing them to show notifications.
This particular page gives the impression that clicking the "Allow" button will allow a video to be loaded. Typically, notifications displayed by pages such as todaysdailyreports[.]com contain deceptive ads, links to dubious web pages, etc. Therefore, they should not be allowed to show notifications.
As mentioned, PUAs can serve various coupons, surveys, banners, pop-ups and other types of ads. Commonly, these open other untrusted pages or even execute scripts designed to cause download/installation of unwanted apps.
PUAs can also track information and collect browsing data such as IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of visited websites, entered search queries, etc. Some can be designed to gather sensitive details as well. The data could be sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or misused to generate in other ways.
In such cases, users might have problems relating to privacy, browsing safety, or even become victims of identity theft.

In summary, neither websites such as todaysdailyreports[.]com nor potentially unwanted applications can be trusted. PUAs are often advertised as legitimate, useful applications, however, their only purpose is to generate revenue for the developers. I.e., they are useless to regular users and can cause serious problems.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs are often downloaded/installed together with other products. This deceptive marketing technique of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".
By rushing through download/installation of software (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Quick/Express" settings, etc.) many users risk unintentionally allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive advertisements proliferate PUAs as well.
When clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without users' permission. Some PUAs have "official" download web pages from which they can be downloaded.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Download software and files from official websites and via direct links. It is not safe to use torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks), third party downloaders, unofficial websites or other sources of this kind. Avoid third party installers. Check "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings, and decline offers to download or install unwanted software.
Do not click ads that are displayed on dubious websites, since they can open other untrusted websites or even cause unwanted downloads and installations. Remove any unwanted, suspicious applications (extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins) that are installed on the browser.
The same should be applied to programs of this kind that are installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
