Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue sites; omouswomani[.]xyz, cleaningupdate[.]xyz, and defensivereaction[.]cfd are merely a couple of examples.

These websites deliver browser notifications that promote online scams and malicious content. It has to be mentioned that any legitimate products encountered via these advertisements are highly 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 remindexpert[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Sites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely visited remindexpert[.]xyz and permitted it to deliver these adverts (i.e., clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).

It is noteworthy that rogue webpages often use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, and other deceptive content to lure users into enabling notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not enable questionable websites to display them (i.e., do not select "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

And if your browser continuously force-opens suspect sites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (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.
