Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue sites; protectwatch[.]xyz, captcha4you[.]top, cleanyourpcnow[.]com, fsmevh[.]com - are some examples.

These webpages display browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are highly unlikely to be promoted by their developers. This endorsement is primarily undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user consent to display browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely accessed yoursafeguardshield[.]com and permitted it to deliver these advertisements. In other words, selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

And if your browser continuously force-opens questionable webpages without prompt, it might be caused by the presence of 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.
