Browser notification spam in general

Nvideas[.]site, antivirusapp[.]space, bestpenad[.]com, protectyourdesktop[.]click, adiingsinspiringt[.]net, and ptbqre[.]com are merely some examples of rogue websites we have examined recently. These pages can appear ordinary and harmless, yet their browser notifications promote deceptive/malicious material.

Note that while legitimate products/services may be encountered via these ads – they are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did coreforger[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are receiving these advertisements from coreforger[.]top – it means that when this page was visited, permission for the delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you happen upon a suspicious webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such pages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, check the device for installed adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
