If you enter a questionable website, do not consent to its notifications; in other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar buttons. We advise ignoring such options or denying them - pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

If your browser is continuously force-opening dubious pages, it might be due to adware installed onto 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.
