Browser notification spam in general

The Internet is rife with websites like xervoo[.]net; securestuff[.]xyz, worldfreshblog[.]com, coolingcola[.]com, and new-message-service[.]com are just a few examples of those we have analyzed.

The notifications delivered by these pages primarily promote dubious and malicious content. Any encounters with legitimate products via these adverts are not due to marketing from their developers. This promotion is usually undertaken by scammers abusing affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did xervoo[.]net gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to display browser notifications. Therefore, you've likely visited and permitted xervoo[.]net to deliver them. It is noteworthy that many rogue sites use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, etc.) to entice/scare visitors into allowing their notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

We strongly advise against permitting suspicious sites to deliver browser notifications. In other words, the "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options in these pages - must not be clicked. Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser be force-opening questionable webpages, it is likely due to 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.
