Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue websites; webnotificationservices[.]com, primerewardz[.]com, and soksicme[.]com are just a few examples of ones we have inspected recently.

These sites display notifications that promote scams and malicious material. It is pertinent to mention that any legitimate products encountered through these adverts are highly unlikely to be endorsed by their developers. This endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely permitted solidprotectionspc[.]com to display these ads by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid seeing unwanted browser notifications, do not consent to their delivery from questionable sites (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser keep randomly force-opening suspicious websites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed on 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.
