Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; extravideo[.]live, trusted-stream[.]life, beltrapurint[.]com, getgadgets[.]online - are just some examples.
These browser notifications push deceptive and malicious material. It is noteworthy that the legitimate products encountered through these webpages are highly unlikely to be endorsed by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did notifinfoback[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Sites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed notifinfoback[.]com and consented to their delivery. In other words, were tricked into clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option displayed on this webpage.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you enter a questionable site, do not not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
And should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites unprompted, it could be caused by 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.
