Browser notification spam in general

Musicinmysoul[.]biz, aigaithojo[.]com, twithdiffer[.]xyz, and mo*.biz are merely some examples of the rogue webpages that we have inspected.

These websites display browser notifications that promote deceptive/malicious material. Note that any genuine products encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their developers. This promotion is usually undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did video18on[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed video18on[.]com and consented to their delivery by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a suspicious site, do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser keep randomly force-opening questionable websites without prompt - it could be due to 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.
