Browser notification spam in general

The Internet is rife with notification-spam promoting websites, and we have inspected thousands of them. Payments4u[.]org, goldline-updates[.]com, and aderstono[.]com are just a few examples of those we have analyzed.

The browser notifications delivered by such pages usually push unreliable and malicious content. However, we have observed these ads promoting legitimate products as well. It must be stressed that this advertising is unlikely to be done or approved by the actual designers. This promotion is commonly used by scammers abusing affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did investmeny[.]org gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely visited investmeny[.]org and permitted it to do so. Furthermore, like most rogue pages, this site uses clickbait (fake CAPTCHA) to lure visitors into enabling its notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you enter a questionable website, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options. Instead, ignore browser notification requests or deny them - i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

If your browser is randomly force-opening suspicious pages - it may be 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.
