Notification-news[.]com overview

The content displayed on and promoted by rogue webpages might vary depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.

When we entered notification-news[.]com, it presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification. The deceptive instructions - 'Click "Allow" if you are not a robot' - are intended to trick visitors into consenting to the delivery of browser notifications. When we pressed the 'Allow' button, it resulted in a redirect to the notadslife[.]com rogue page.

If allowed, notification-news[.]com will begin displaying notifications/advertisements that endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful sites and software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

There are thousands of rogue pages on the Web; maloprotect[.]xyz, displayforreviews[.]com, and captchamode[.]top are merely a couple examples of those we have inspected recently.

Their browser notifications primarily push deceptive and malicious content. It must be mentioned that any legitimate products encountered through these adverts are highly unlikely to be promoted by their real developers. Instead, this endorsement is done by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did notification-news[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only display browser notifications with user consent. Hence, you've likely entered notification-news[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on it - thus permitting the webpage to deliver its advertisements.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your browser is continuously force-opening questionable sites unprompted, it could be caused by 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.
