Browser notification spam in general

Adforyounews[.]com, takeekatthree[.]xyz, emyresumef[.]hair, and ylcufr[.]com are merely a couple examples of the rogue webpages that we have inspected recently.

These sites deliver browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious material. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers/designers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Rogue pages often use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling notification delivery.

If you are receiving these ads from mytopwords[.]com - you have most likely visited this webpage and permitted the notification display (i.e., clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not enable questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
