Browser notification spam in general
We have inspected countless notification spam promoting websites; buyfunllc[.]com, entry-system[.]xyz, and captchastate[.]link are just a couple of examples. These sites deliver adverts that endorse deceptive and malicious content.
It is pertinent to mention that any legitimate products encountered via these browser notifications are highly unlikely to be promoted by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did broworker1s[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Rogue pages often use deception to trick visitors into consenting. If you are receiving these ads from broworker1s[.]com, you have likely visited it and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option displayed on this page.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you enter an untrustworthy webpage, do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should you experience continuous unprompted redirects to questionable websites, it could be caused by adware installed on the browser or 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.
