Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; news-xokise[.]cc, celeb-hot-treands[.]com, and jigisup[.]xyz are merely a couple of examples.

These websites deliver browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious content. It must be mentioned that any genuine products encountered through these adverts are most likely promoted by scammers abusing their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did news-rupite[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely visited news-rupite[.]cc and permitted it to display them by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not permit questionable websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect sites unprompted, it could be caused by adware installed onto 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.
