Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue sites; computeradshub[.]com, mkjxtu[.]com, onlineportalsite[.]com, and news-gocuco[.]cc are merely some examples.

These webpages display notifications that mainly push deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the programs' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing notifications from greenspecialmyline[.]com, it is likely that you have visited this site and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites (e.g., greenspecialmyline[.]com) without prompt, it might be caused by adware installed onto the browser/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.
