Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; webnotificationservices[.]com, news-nubuyo[.]cc, kxcdn[.]com, and solidprotectionspc[.]com are just a few examples.

These websites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. Any legitimate products encountered through these adverts are unlikely to be endorsed by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered highpotencysecurity[.]com and permitted it to do so by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not enable suspicious websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites, it could be due to 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.
