Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue pages; inalours[.]com, inghesatin[.]com, and ivids[.]ru are merely a couple of our latest finds.

These sites deliver browser notifications (ads) that promote deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that while legitimate products and services can be encountered via these advertisements – they are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the content's affiliate programs with the goal of obtaining illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Permission is given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar button presented on a webpage. Therefore, if you are receiving these adverts from advbeach[.]com – it means that you've likely accessed this page and selected a consent option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a questionable webpage – do not enable it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise denying notification requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring them.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (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.
