Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; german0[.]xyz, entry-system[.]xyz, imilroshoors[.]com, captchastate[.]link, pushmestar[.]com - are just some examples.
These sites display browser notifications that push online scams and malicious material. While genuine products/content can be encountered via these adverts - they are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did buyfunllc[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from buyfunllc[.]com - you have likely visited it and permitted the page to display them. In other words, selected (or were tricked into clicking) "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on buyfunllc[.]com.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not consent to their delivery from dubious websites (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser keep force-opening suspicious sites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
