Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected countless rogue websites; desktopanalyticscenter[.]site, batus[.]click, bikemolktwo[.]xyz, and webaddictremind[.]xyz are merely a few examples of our newest finds.

These pages display browsing notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material. Note that any legitimate content encountered through these advertisements is unlikely to be promoted by its actual developers. Scammers often abuse the affiliate programs of genuine products/services in order to obtain illegitimate commissions for the endorsement.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites – it could be caused by adware installed on the browser or system.
