Browser notification spam in general

Websites like adsforcomputercity[.]com get opened mainly via deceptive advertisements and pages that use rogue advertising networks (e.g., torrent, illegal movie streaming, adult sites). All these pages are designed to trick visitors into granting them permission to display notifications. Their notifications can be used to promote malicious apps and pages.

There are plenty of similar websites, for example, news-xokise[.]cc, celeb-hot-treands[.]com, and fynbest[.]com.

How did adsforcomputercity[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Notifications are only coming from the adsforcomputercity[.]com page because it was visited, and the "Allow" button was clicked (permission to show notifications was granted) while visiting it. Websites do not deliver any notifications unless they have permission to do so.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Whenever an untrustworthy page asks for permission to show notifications, click the "Block" or "Block Notifications" button. Do not trust websites stating that it is required to click the "Allow" button to play a video, confirm age, prove that you are not a robot, etc. Never click the "Allow" button while visiting such pages and close them once they are opened.

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