Browser notification spam in general

Scanandclean[.]xyz, myauto[.]site, and timetocheck[.]xyz are just a few examples of the rogue webpages we have analyzed recently.

Browser notification spam pushes deceptive and malicious content. Any genuine products encountered through these notifications/ads are highly unlikely to be endorsed by their developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did news-jivuka[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely visited news-jivuka[.]cc and allowed it to display these advertisements. Note that most rogue pages employ deception (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, etc.) - to entice/scare visitors into enabling notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not consent to these ads from suspicious sites. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options. Instead, we advise ignoring or denying such requests, i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", or any analogous options.

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious webpages (e.g., news-jivuka[.]cc), it could be caused by installed 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.
