Browser notification spam in general

We have examined thousands of rogue webpages; wholefreshstories[.]com, wheebsadree[.]com, wedonhisdhiltew[.]info, and yourfreshjournal[.]com are merely a few of our newest articles. Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content.

Keep in mind that while genuine products or services may be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by any official parties. It is the most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.

It is noteworthy that rogue sites often use fake CAPTCHA tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, and other lures to trick visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspect websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification requests from such webpages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

It is pertinent to mention that having adware installed on the browser/system can result in dubious sites being force-opened without prompt. Should you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, inspect the device and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
