Browser notification spam in general

Noobilubi[.]com, hipnoticrec[.]biz, express-new[.]com, freeadvworld[.]com - are just a few examples of the rogue websites we have analyzed recently.

The browser notifications they deliver usually promote deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered through these adverts are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to fraudulently obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did zoutubephaid[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely visited zoutubephaid[.]com and permitted it to deliver these advertisements. Zoutubephaid[.]com (like most rogue pages) employs deception to trick visitors into enabling its browser notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We strongly advise ignoring notification delivery or denying it (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites, it might be due to adware installed onto it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
