Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue pages; swooflia[.]xyz, tooklichair[.]com, placebonusextra[.]com, and protectorofpower[.]xyz are just a few examples.

Their browser notifications mainly endorse deceptive and malicious material. It is improbable for any legitimate products encountered through these ads to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Hence, you've likely entered saveprivatedata[.]com at some point and enabled it to display them. It is noteworthy that rogue webpages commonly employ deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) - to lure users into allowing browser notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options presented on questionable webpages. We advise ignoring notification delivery or denying it - pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", or an analogous option.

If you experience random unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, it could be due to adware installed onto the browser or 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.
