Browser notification spam in general

The Internet is rife with rogue webpages; desktopnotificationsonline[.]com, jakeview[.]ru, allowpcprotect[.]com, and mysecuresoftware[.]com are just a few examples of those we have analyzed recently.

The browser notifications displayed by such pages primarily push deceptive/dangerous content. While legitimate products may be encountered through these ads, they are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did news-govuhu[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Browser notifications are only delivered with user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed news-govuhu[.]cc at some point, and permitted it to display these adverts (i.e., pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). It is pertinent to mention that rogue pages often use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, or other deceptive content - to lure visitors into enabling their notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

We strongly advise against permitting suspicious websites to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options displayed by such sites). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your browser keeps randomly force-opening questionable webpages without prompt, it could be due to the presence of 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.
