Browser notification spam in general

We have examined countless rogue webpages; adsleadsfunrtb[.]top, kurepos.co[.]in, faillippiterin.co[.]in, and berolorladentra.co[.]in are merely some of our latest articles. Sites of this kind aim to deceive users into permitting browser notification delivery.

Spam notifications endorse scams and malicious content. Remember that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the endorsed content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did croursem.co[.]in gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Hence, you have likely accessed croursem.co[.]in at some point and enabled the advertisement delivery by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option on this page.

It is pertinent to mention that rogue sites commonly use lures (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification tests, explicit adult-oriented content, etc.) to entice visitors into enabling browser notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspicious websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser keep force-opening dubious sites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed on it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
