Browser notification spam in general

Investmeny[.]org, pushnott[.]com, save-secur[.]com, and worldcoolfeed[.]com are just a few examples of the rogue sites we have analyzed.

The browser notifications from these webpages mainly push deceptive and malicious content. However, legitimate products may be encountered through these adverts as well. It is improbable for such promotion to be undertaken or approved by the actual developers; rather, it is done by scammers abusing affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did see-what-is-buzzing[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you have likely visited see-what-is-buzzing[.]com and permitted it. Note that most rogue sites use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to lure visitors into allowing their notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To prevent questionable websites from displaying browser notifications, they must not be allowed to by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options. Instead, we advise ignoring notification requests or denying them (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious webpages, it could be due to installed advertising-supported software (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.
