Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; trusted-check[.]xyz, superiorprotectionpc[.]com, videoplay-on[.]com, and get-shields[.]com are merely some examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious material. Note that any genuine products encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you've likely entered computeradsnetwork[.]com and permitted it to display these advertisements (i.e., pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not enable dubious sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser keep randomly force-opening suspicious websites, 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.
