Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; notifinfoback[.]com, extravideo[.]live, and trusted-stream[.]life are just a couple of examples.

These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered adsandcomputer[.]com at some point and consented to the delivery of these ads (i.e., clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser keep randomly redirecting to suspicious sites without prompt, it might 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.
