Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected countless rogue websites; pushyoumail[.]com, service-2022[.]site, and fonto[.]club are merely a couple of examples.

These pages deliver browser notifications that push deceptive/malicious material. It is pertinent to mention that any legitimate content encountered through these adverts is unlikely to be promoted by its actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers aiming to obtain commissions fraudulently by abusing a product's affiliate programs.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Rogue sites often use deceptive content (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, etc.) to lure visitors into enabling notification delivery.

Hence, if you are receiving these ads from mscmart[.]com - it means that you've likely visited this page and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid getting spam browser notifications, do not permit questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests displayed by such webpages (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect websites unprompted, it could be caused by adware installed onto 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.
