As a rule, notifications from pages like webout[.]life promote various scam websites, shady applications, and even malicious pages/apps.

More about similar pages

Typically, pages like webout[.]life are promoted via shady ads and illegal movie streaming pages, torrent sites, and other pages of this kind. In some cases, they get opened by adware installed on computers. Clicking on notifications displayed by such pages can open malicious websites.

Examples of similar pages are guroshied[.]com, video18on[.]com, and musicinmysoul[.]biz.

How did webout[.]life gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites do not show notifications unless they have permission for that. This permission is granted by clicking the "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar button that a browser displays when a page wants to show notifications. Webout[.]life shows notifications because that button was clicked while visiting it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Click the "Block" button when suspicious websites ask for permission to show notifications or close those pages before agreeing or disagreeing to receive notifications. Never trust pages claiming that it is required to click the "Allow" button to prove that you are not a robot, download a file, play a video, etc.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
