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

Such pages typically obtain permission to send notifications by deceiving users into clicking the "Allow" button under false pretenses, such as pretending it is necessary to pass a CAPTCHA, play a video, download a file, etc. No website can display notifications without permission.

Thus, atradestays[.]com shows notifications because the "Allow" (or similar) button displayed by a browser was clicked while visiting the page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To decline notification permission, do not click the "Allow" button when prompted by a website. Instead, choose the "Block", "Block Notifications", or a similar option. Remember that legitimate pages never claim that it is required to click the "Allow" button to play some video, prove that you are not a robot, etc.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
