Removing the notifications/advertisements delivered by ourhotfeed.com site

What kind of page is ourhotfeed[.]com?

During a routine inspection of untrustworthy sites, we discovered the ourhotfeed[.]com rogue webpage. It is designed to push browser notification spam and redirect visitors to other (likely unreliable or malicious) websites. Pages like ourhotfeed[.]com are usually entered inadvertently. Most users access them via redirects caused by sites using rogue advertising networks.

Ourhotfeed[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue webpages (i.e., what they host/promote) might depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. During our inspection of ourhotfeed[.]com, it presented us with a yellow loading bar and a jumping arrow. The page instructed to "Click the Allow button to subscribe to the push notifications and continue watching" - this implies that enabling the notifications is necessary to resume viewing online content.

These instructions are fake and merely used to trick visitors into allowing ourhotfeed[.]com to run intrusive advertisement campaigns via browser notifications. The delivered ads promote untrustworthy/harmful websites and software, online scams, and even malware.

Therefore, through sites like ourhotfeed[.]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; mediaforyour[.]com, mund35ane-cha11nnel[.]xyz, and bostewsom[.]shop are just a couple of examples.

The displayed browser notifications typically endorse deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered via these adverts are unlikely to be advertised by their developers. This promotion is primarily undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Sites only display browser notifications if users permit them. Therefore, you have likely visited ourhotfeed[.]com and were tricked into allowing its notification delivery. In other words, you have clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on the page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, we advise against allowing dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring notification delivery requests or denying them (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites unprompted - it is likely 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.
