Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; freeadvreviews[.]com, protectionsrequired[.]com, and flowvideo[.]ru are just a couple of examples.

Their browser notifications mainly promote deceptive and malicious material. Note that any legitimate products encountered through these adverts are highly unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is done by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered freesamplesprousa[.]com at some point and permitted it to display these ads - by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.

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 similar options. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites, it could be caused by 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.
