How to stop tendingum.com notifications/adverts

What kind of page is tendingum[.]com?

Tendingum[.]com is a rogue webpage discovered by our researchers during a routine inspection of suspicious sites. This page is designed to promote browser notifications spam and redirect users to other (likely dubious/dangerous) websites.

The majority of visitors to tendingum[.]com and analogous webpages access them through redirects generated by sites employing rogue advertising networks.

Tendingum[.]com overview

At the time of research, tendingum[.]com displayed a basic CAPTCHA verification test. However, the content encountered on and through rogue sites might differ depending on visitors' IP addresses (geolocations). The verification on tendingum[.]com is an imitation – hence, once a user selects the "Allow" option, they unintentionally permit the webpage to deliver browser notifications.

Rogue websites use their notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. These ads can promote online scams (technical support, phishing, etc.), untrustworthy/harmful software (adware, fake antivirus tools, PUAs, browser hijackers, etc.), and malware (ransomware, trojans, etc.).

To summarize, via pages like tendingum[.]com – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; eroronf.co[.]in, unsfeths[.]com, and chessermanic[.]com are just a couple of our newest articles. These pages aim to deceive visitors into permitting browser notification delivery.

Adverts of this kind endorse deceptive and malicious content. While legitimate products or services may be encountered via spam notifications, they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the endorsed content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only display browser notifications with user consent. Hence, you have likely entered tendingum[.]com at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thereby permitting the advertisement delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable or deceptive browser notifications – do not enable questionable webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification delivery from such pages (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests in their entirety.

It is noteworthy that having adware installed on the browser or system may result in suspicious websites being forced-open at random. Should you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, check the device and immediately remove all dubious 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.
