Browser notification spam in general
The Internet is rife with rogue sites. We have analyzed thousands of pages like mediaforyour[.]com; speedcaptcha-here[.]top, notadsreviews[.]com, freeadvhub[.]com - are just some examples.
Browser notifications primarily push deceptive and malicious content. However, legitimate products can be encountered through these advertisements as well. It is noteworthy that this promotion is unlikely to be undertaken or approved by the actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is done by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did mediaforyour[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot generate revenue without user permission. Hence, you have likely visited this webpage and permitted it to deliver these ads. Note that mediaforyour[.]com (like most rogue pages) employs deception to entice visitors into consenting to its notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
We strongly advise against enabling suspicious websites to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options. Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open questionable webpages, it might be due to the presence of 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.
