Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; updates-center[.]com, captcha4you[.]top, politicosta[.]biz, and lpnottech[.]com are but a few examples.

These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse online scams and malicious material. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these adverts are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely entered cleanyourpcnow[.]com and permitted it to display these advertisements by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not enable questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious webpages unprompted, 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.
