Browser notification spam in general
Yoursecuresoft[.]com, herebelf[.]xyz, and webpushtech[.]com are just a couple examples of the rogue websites we have analyzed.
The notifications displayed by such pages primarily push deceptive and malicious material. While legitimate products may be encountered through these adverts, they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, scammers who abuse affiliate programs often use notification spam to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did allowww[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Browser notifications can only be displayed by sites that have the users' permission. Therefore, you've likely visited allowww[.]com and were tricked by its clickbait into enabling the notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid seeing undesirable browser notifications, we advise against allowing questionable websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying the notification requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", or similar).
Should your browser continuously force-open dubious webpages, it could 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.
