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

Notadslife[.]com uses a clickbait technique to get permission to show notifications. It claims that it is required to click the "Allow" button to prove that you are not a robot. Thus, it shows notifications only because it has been visited and the "Allow" button was clicked (websites cannot show notifications without permission).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Never trust pages claiming that it is required to agree to receive notifications. Click the "Block" or a similar button when a shady page asks for such permission (do not click the "Allow" if you are not willing to receive website notifications). Another way to avoid receiving unwanted notifications is to close websites before clicking the "Allow" or "Block" button.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
