Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; ptaimpeerte[.]com, adsandcomputer[.]com, notifinfoback[.]com, beltrapurint[.]com - are just some examples.

Their browser notifications primarily push deceptive/malicious content. However, any legitimate products encountered through these ads are highly unlikely to be promoted by their developers. Instead, this endorsement is done by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user permission. Therefore, you have likely entered advtstudio[.]com at some point and consented to the delivery of these advertisements. In other words, clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option displayed by advtstudio[.]com.

It is noteworthy that rogue pages often use clickbait or other deceptive content to lure visitors into enabling browser notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable/deceptive browser notifications, do not enable suspect websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites without prompt, it could be caused by 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.
