Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected countless rogue webpages; protectdevice[.]org, advtbox[.]com, adsforcomputercity[.]com, news-rupite[.]cc - are merely some examples.

These sites deliver notifications that advertise deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are most likely promoted by scammers abusing their affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely entered advtlife[.]com and gave consent by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a suspicious webpage, do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

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