Browser notification spam in general

Mydesktopdefence.com, payments4u.org, and kap03ut-editi56on.xyz are a few examples of sites akin to the profitedsurvey[.]site webpage.

Browser notifications delivered by these websites are typically misleading and dangerous. They can be used in affiliate programs as well. Scammers (affiliates) push genuine products to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did profitedsurvey[.]site gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only display notifications with user consent. Rogue pages tend to lure/scare visitors into giving permission (i.e., clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.) through deception.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

The notification consent options (e.g., "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.) should not be selected on suspicious webpages. Instead, browser notification requests must be ignored or denied (e.g., "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should a browser force-open untrustworthy sites (e.g., profitedsurvey[.]site), it could be due to adware installed onto the system. It is noteworthy that unwanted software can stealthily infiltrate devices. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
