Websites of this kind in general

Websites like this one get opened inadvertently. Most of them ask for permission to show notifications. Their notifications can be used to promote malicious apps. There are plenty of pages (for example, gooddaywith-captcha[.]to, mydefensivesoft[.]com, notadslife[.]com) that display deceptive content to get permission to show notifications.

How did flskon[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Permission to show notifications for websites is granted by clicking the "Allow" button displayed by a browser. Websites cannot display notifications unless they are allowed. It is pretty common for shady pages to use clickbait techniques to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" (or "Allow Notifications") button.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Do not trust websites that display notifications stating that it is required to click the "Allow" button to verify that you are not a robot, play a video, download a file, etc. Click the "Block" (or similar) button, or close that page to avoid receiving notifications.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
