Ourdailystories[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue sites (i.e., what they host/promote) may depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we accessed ourdailystories[.]com, it presented us with a yellow loading bar and deceptive instructions - "Click the Allow button to subscribe to the push notifications and continue watching" - thereby falsely implying that this is necessary to resume viewing online content.

The delivered notifications/adverts typically endorse untrustworthy/harmful websites and software, online scams, and even malware.

Therefore, via websites like ourdailystories[.]com, users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Defender-scan[.]xyz, freeadvcity[.]com, zoutubephaid[.]com, and freeadvworld[.]com are just some examples of the rogue sites we have analyzed recently.

The notifications delivered by these webpages primarily endorse deceptive and malicious content. Any legitimate products encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only display browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you have likely visited ourdailystories[.]com and permitted it to deliver these ads. Like most rogue sites, this page uses deception to lure visitors into enabling the notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a suspicious website - do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options, as that will allow it to deliver browser notifications. Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites, it could be due to adware having infiltrated the device. 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?

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.
