Browser notification spam in general

The Internet is rife with rogue websites, and we have inspected thousands of them. Highpotencysecurity[.]com, kxcdn[.]com, and primerewardz[.]com are just a couple examples of our newest finds.

These webpages display browser notifications that primarily push deceptive and malicious material. While reputable developers/creators do not use notification spam for advertising purposes - their products can be encountered via these adverts nonetheless. This is because the promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed cauthaushoas[.]com at some point and permitted it to display these advertisements. In other words, clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you access a suspicious website, do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying the notification delivery requests presented by such pages (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your browser is continuously force-opening questionable sites unprompted, it could be due to the presence of 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.
