How to remove the notifications/ads delivered by notcomp.com website

What kind of page is notcomp[.]com?

Our research team discovered the notcomp[.]com rogue webpage while inspecting shady sites. It is designed to push browser notification spam and redirect visitors to other (likely unreliable/malicious) websites.

Notcomp[.]com and sites akin to it are rarely accessed intentionally. Most users enter them through redirects caused by pages using rogue advertising networks, spam notifications, intrusive advertisements, mistyped URLs, or installed adware.

Notcomp[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue sites (i.e., what they load/endorse) can depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. During our inspection of notcomp[.]com, it presented us with a fake video player and deceptive instructions - 'Press "Allow" to watch the video'. These fake directions are intended to trick visitors into allowing this webpage to deliver browser notifications.

When we clicked the 'Allow' button, it caused a redirect to see-what-is-buzzing[.]com, which is a rogue page likewise intended to promote notification spam.

The displayed notifications primarily endorse untrustworthy/harmful websites and software, online scams, and even malware.

Therefore, via sites like notcomp[.]com, users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue pages; yourdesktopdefence[.]com, dating-point[.]top, save-window[.]com, and exclusivedealsfinder[.]com are just some examples of the latest.

Their browser notifications push deceptive and malicious material. It is improbable that reputable developers advertise their products through notification spam, yet they can be encountered via these ads. This promotion is primarily undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Sites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you have likely visited notcomp[.]com and consent to its notifications (i.e., clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, we advise against pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or analogous options displayed by suspicious websites. Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your browser is continuously force-opening questionable webpages unprompted, it is likely 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.

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.
