Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed numerous rogue pages; update-macos[.]com, wholehotposts[.]com, and cavernexplorer[.]com are merely a couple of examples.

These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and 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 yoursmartsecurityguards[.]club gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent, and yoursmartsecurityguards[.]club is not an exception. Therefore, you've likely visited this webpage at some point and permitted the advert delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Be selective about which websites you allow to deliver browser notifications. Do not enable questionable pages to do so, 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 suspicious 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.
