Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of notification spam promoting webpages; totalwownews[.]com, check-pcsecurity[.]com, and news-relimo[.]cc are just a couple examples of our latest finds.

Their browser notifications push deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these adverts are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by their actual developers. This promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites deliver browser notifications only if users permit them to do so. Many rogue pages employ clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, and other deceptive content to lure visitors into consenting to the notification delivery. If you are seeing ads from notificationsworld[.]com, it means that you've likely visited this page and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, we advise against allowing questionable websites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options. Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser randomly force-open suspicious pages without prompt, it could be 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.
