Browser notification spam in general

We have examined countless rogue pages; aahdxn[.]com, easypcscan[.]com, and uidhealth[.]com are merely a couple of examples.

Websites of this kind display browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content. Note that any genuine products or services encountered through these ads are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed the allcommonstories[.]com page and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling the advertisement delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you access a dubious webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on suspicious pages. Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests – i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

It is noteworthy that adware installed onto the browser/system can generate continuous unprompted redirects to questionable websites. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
