Websites of this type in general

Vonsoocm[.]com and similar pages are frequently accessed unintentionally, usually through ads on dubious websites and pages that utilize unscrupulous advertising networks, such as torrent sites and illegal movie streaming pages.

These types of pages often employ clickbait strategies to trick visitors into giving permission for browser notifications. More examples of such pages are fpozbd[.]com, econsultingcoem[.]com, and cosmovideo[.]cam. It is strongly recommended to avoid allowing these pages to display notifications.

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

Web pages display notifications only after receiving permission from visitors, who can grant it by clicking the "Allow" button when prompted. Therefore, if vonsoocm[.]com shows notifications, it means that you have visited the site and allowed it to display notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

You should immediately close any suspicious pages that prompt you to authorize notifications or click the "Block" (or a similar) button. Do not trust websites that ask you to click the "Allow" button to prove that you are not a robot, watch a video, download a file, confirm your age, etc. If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
