Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue webpages; rewardusacenter[.]com, now-scan[.]com, special-discounts[.]club, and news-hanuca[.]cc are merely some examples.

These sites display browser notifications that push online scams and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these adverts are most likely promoted by scammers abusing their affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you've likely entered highpotencysoftware[.]com and permitted it to display these advertisements by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not consent to their delivery from suspicious sites. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious websites unprompted, it might 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.
