Browser notification spam in general

Lpnottech[.]com, jonne[.]club, whatchnow[.]xyz - are merely a couple of examples of the rogue webpages that we have inspected recently.

These sites deliver browser notifications that promote online scams and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered via 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 news-kezana[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Sites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you have likely entered news-kezana[.]cc at some point and enabled it to display these ads by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option. It is pertinent to mention that many rogue pages use deception to trick visitors into allowing their notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a dubious webpage, do not permit it to display browser notifications - i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites unprompted, it might be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware) on the browser/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.
