Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue sites; totaldatadefencereport[.]com, emyresumef[.]hair, tpnwslnd[.]com, captchaless[.]top, mysmarterdeals[.]shop - are merely some examples.

These pages display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any genuine products encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed ylcufr[.]com and permitted it to display these advertisements by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

It is pertinent to mention that most rogue webpages use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

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