Browser notification spam in general

We have researched thousands of sites designed to push browser notification spam; gomusic[.]info, captchawall[.]top, and next-thing-info[.]com are merely a few examples.

The notifications delivered by such webpages usually promote deceptive and malicious content. However, genuine products may be encountered through them as well. It must be stressed that this promotion is rarely done or approved by the actual developers. This marketing technique is typically used by scammers abusing affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did save-secur[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Sites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely permitted save-secur[.]com to display them. This website uses clickbait to trick visitors into allowing notifications, which is typical for pages of this kind.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a questionable website, we strongly advise against allowing it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, you should ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your browser is randomly force-opening suspicious webpages, it is likely due to installed adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
