Browser notification spam in general

Private-mastermind[.]com, cleantraf[.]xyz, somenewforyou[.]cc, and webout[.]life are a few examples of rogue webpages that we have analyzed recently.

These sites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. It has to be mentioned that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did listen-heres[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Hence, you have likely accessed listen-heres[.]com and permitted it to display these adverts by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit questionable sites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser keep force-opening websites unprompted, it could be due to 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.
