Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; webout[.]life, guroshied[.]com, video18on[.]com, musicinmysoul[.]biz, and aigaithojo[.]com are merely some examples.

These pages display browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content. It has to be mentioned that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did somenewforyou[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you have likely visited somenewforyou[.]cc and consented to the ad delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option. It is pertinent to mention that many rogue pages use fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, and other deception to trick visitors into allowing the browser notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites unprompted, 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.
