Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; deviceunder-shield[.]com, notificationsworld[.]com, digitalpush[.]org - and are just a few examples.

The browser notifications delivered by such pages - endorse deceptive and malicious material. It is improbable that reputable developers use notification spam to advertise their products, yet legitimate content can be encountered through these advertisements. This endorsement is actually undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you have likely visited dnagtv[.]com and consented to the notification delivery (e.g., "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar). Note that many rogue pages employ clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, or other deceptive content - to bait visitors into enabling browser notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit dubious sites to display them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such webpages. Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your browser is continuously force-opening suspicious websites unprompted, it might 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.
