What is premiumpushnotification[.]com?

premiumpushnotification[.]com is a rogue website that operates like many other websites of this kind including, for example, eadingenered[.]pro, hernclinicsfun[.]info, and actraffic[.]info. When opened, premiumpushnotification[.]com displays dubious content or opens other untrustworthy websites.

People do not generally visit this site intentionally - potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) forcibly open it. These apps are designed to gather various details, serve ads, and open rogue web pages. They are categorized as PUAs, since most people download and install them accidentally.

Once opened, premiumpushnotification[.]com loads dubious content or redirects visitors to other (about two or three) rogue sites that might be designed to advertise untrusted software, various PUAs, and so on. Its actions depend on visitors' geolocations. This website uses a 'clickbait' technique to trick people into allowing it to show notifications.

Note that premiumpushnotification[.]com displays a pop-up window with an "Allow" button and encourages visitors to click it so they can continue browsing the web page. If notifications are allowed, websites such as premiumpushnotification[.]com start to display ads and other unwanted content.

PUAs that open sites such as premiumpushnotification[.]com can also gather browsing-related data. They collect details such as IP addresses, addresses of opened web pages, entered search queries, geolocations, etc. Some PUAs record sensitive, confidential information.

Furthermore, developers share the data with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. PUAs also serve various ads (coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and so on). If clicked, these open untrustworthy websites or run scripts that download or even install unwanted apps.

Typically, PUAs are advertised as useful and legitimate programs, which supposedly include useful features or provide other value. In fact, most do not operate as advertised.

Typically, developers design them to gather data, open dubious websites and display intrusive, often deceptive advertisements. In summary, PUAs can lead to problems relating to online privacy, web browsing safety, or even identity theft. We strongly recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

In most cases, people download and install PUAs by clicking intrusive, deceptive advertisements, or when software developers include them into various download or installation set-ups. This distribution method is called "bundling" and is used to trick people into downloading/installing unwanted apps together with regular software.

Generally, PUAs that are included into set-ups are presented as additional offers. People who download and install programs without checking and changing settings (such as "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual" included in the set-ups) agree with those offers by default. I.e., they grant permission for PUAs to be downloaded and installed through the setups of regular software.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

All software and files should be downloaded from official websites. Do not use third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, dubious websites, or other channels to download or install software. Opt-out of offers to download or install unwanted software before finishing any download or installation.

This can be done by changing the aforementioned settings. It is not safe to click intrusive ads, especially those displayed on web pages relating to gambling, adult dating, pornography, and so on. People who click them are often redirected to untrustworthy websites or they cause unwanted downloads/installations.

To stop browsers from showing ads or opening dubious sites, uninstall unwanted, unknown extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins from the browser, and programs of this kind from the operating 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.
