Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; takeekatthree[.]xyz, ylcufr[.]com, tpnwslnd[.]com - are just a few of our newest finds.

Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious material. It is pertinent to mention that legitimate content encountered via these ads is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs in order to acquire commissions fraudulently.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you have likely accessed adforyounews[.]com at some point and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page. Note that rogue webpages commonly use deception to trick visitors into enabling notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious website, do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
