More about pages of this type

Websites like jerenga[.]click do not get visited intentionally. They get opened mainly through pages that use rogue advertising networks or adware installed on the operating system (or a web browser). Also, these sites tend to use clickbait techniques (display deceptive content) to trick visitors into agreeing to receive notifications.

Examples of similar websites are keepsafetycore[.]com, highpotencysoftware[.]com, and updatepcmc[.]xyz.

How did jerenga[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Pages receive permission to show notifications after visitors click the "Allow" button (or a similar button) that a browser displays when websites want to show notifications. Websites cannot show notifications without permission. Thus, jerenga[.]click delivers notifications because it has been allowed to do so.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Do not trust websites that display messages claiming that it is required to click the "Allow" button to prove that you are not a robot, play a video, download a file, confirm your age, etc. Click the "Block", "Block Notifications", or a similar button (or close the page) when a shady website asks for permission to show notifications.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
