More about websites of this type

Pages like financesurvey[.]site often use clickbait techniques to trick visitors into allowing them to show notifications. For example, they claim that it is required to agree to receive notifications to download files, prove that you are not a robot, play videos, etc. Examples of similar pages are babesroulette[.]com, emicalcove[.]xyz, satunians[.]com.

How did financesurvey[.]site gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites display notifications after the "Allow" button displayed by a browser is clicked. They cannot show notifications without permission. The same applies to financesurvey[.]site. Typically, pages like this one display deceptive content to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

When a page asks for permission to show notifications, and you do not wish to receive them, click the "Block" (or "Block Notifications") button. Do not trust websites claiming that it is necessary to click the "Allow" button to load the page or for any other reason.

Another way to avoid receiving notifications from a page is to close it when it asks for permission to show them. If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
