Browser notification spam in general

News-cihumo[.]cc, babesroulette[.]com, checkpcsecurity[.]com, and defender-scanner[.]com are just some examples of the rogue webpages we have analyzed.

The browser notifications delivered by sites of this kind - usually push dubious and malicious material. It is noteworthy that scammers often abuse affiliate programs and employ spam notifications to acquire illegitimate commissions for the promotion of genuine products. Hence, reputable developers are unlikely to use these advertisements to endorse their products.

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

Websites can only display notifications with user permission. Therefore, you've likely been tricked by the fake CAPTCHA on notadsnow[.]com, and thus allowed it to deliver these ads. Note that most rogue pages employ clickbait for this purpose.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, you should never click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options displayed by questionable websites. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your browser is continuously force-opening suspect webpages without prompt, it is likely caused by adware installed onto it or the 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.
