Browser notification spam in general

Protectyourdesktop[.]click, ptbqre[.]com, adiingsinspiringt[.]net, myhugestories[.]com – are just some examples of rogue pages we have reviewed recently. Despite their potentially legitimate appearance, these sites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious material.

It is noteworthy that while genuine products and services may be encountered via these ads – they are highly unlikely to be promoted by their developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving these advertisements from bestpenad[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspicious webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend denying notification delivery from these pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites – it could be due to the presence of advertising-supported software (adware) on the browser or 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.
