Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue sites; updatepcmc[.]xyz, device-undershield[.]com, now-scan[.]com, and findallmoneysurvey[.]top are merely some examples.

These webpages deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered via these adverts are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is primarily undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did news-hanuca[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user consent to display browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing these ads from news-hanuca[.]cc - you have likely visited this page and permitted it to deliver them (by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option).

It is pertinent to mention that rogue pages commonly use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to lure visitors into enabling notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not permit dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

And if your browser is randomly force-opening questionable sites unprompted, it could be caused by 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.
