What kind of page is tpnwslnd[.]com?

While inspecting dubious websites, our researchers discovered the tpnwslnd[.]com rogue page. It promotes spam browser notifications and redirects users to other (likely untrustworthy/harmful) webpages. Most visitors to tpnwslnd[.]com and similar sites enter them via redirects caused by pages that use rogue advertising networks.

Tpnwslnd[.]com overview

When we accessed tpnwslnd[.]com, it presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification. These deceptive instructions - "I am not a robot/ Click 'Allow' to verify that you ate not a robot", "Click Allow to confirm", and "Click 'Allow' to close this window" displayed in a pop-up - they are all intended to trick visitors into enabling tpnwslnd[.]com to display browser notifications.

It is pertinent to mention that exactly how rogue webpages operate may vary based on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information might dictate the content encountered on and through such websites.

Rogue sites use their notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The browser notifications/ ads promote unreliable/hazardous websites and software, online scams, and malware.

In summary, via pages like tpnwslnd[.]com - users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; totaldatadefencereport[.]com, mysmarterdeals[.]shop, and captchaless[.]top are merely a few examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications that endorse online scams and malicious content. While legitimate products can be encountered via these adverts - they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications if they are permitted to do so. Consent to notification delivery is granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on a page. Hence, you have likely entered tpnwslnd[.]com at some point and selected (or were tricked into clicking) such an option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not enable suspicious sites to deliver them. In other words, we advise against clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options displayed on suspect pages. Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you experience random unprompted redirects to questionable websites, it could be due to adware installed onto the browser/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.
