Browser notification spam in general
We have examined thousands of rogue websites; safaran.co[.]in, parthonylogles[.]com, and basicnetworkchain[.]com are just a couple of our newest articles.
These pages deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are unlikely to be endorsed by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did dollarssource[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, if you are seeing these adverts from dollarssource[.]com – it is evident that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
It must be mentioned that rogue webpages commonly use various lures (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification tests, adult-oriented content, etc.) to entice users into enabling notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
It is imperative to be selective when permitting sites to deliver browser notifications. Suspicious pages must not be allowed to display these ads; instead, their requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, inspect the browser and system for installed advertising-supported software (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.
