Browser notification spam in general
Beltrapurint[.]com, trusted-stream[.]life, getgadgets[.]online, notadvertise[.]com, easydating[.]top - are just some examples of the rogue sites that we have analyzed recently.
These webpages deliver browser notifications that push online scams and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these ads are most likely endorsed by scammers abusing their affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did extravideo[.]live gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Sites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed extravideo[.]live at some point and consented to the delivery of these adverts. In other words, pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option on the extravideo[.]live page.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit dubious websites to show them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites (e.g., extravideo[.]live, etc.) - it could be due to adware installed onto the browser or 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.
