Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; getgadgets[.]online, cleantoclean[.]xyz, and topsurvey24[.]top are merely a few examples.
These sites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did beltrapurint[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely entered beltrapurint[.]com at some point and permitted it to display them by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.
It is worth mentioning that rogue sites often use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you access a suspicious website, do not permit it to deliver browser notifications - i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options. Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification requests - i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", or similar.
Should your browser keep randomly force-opening questionable sites unprompted - it might be due to 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.
