Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected countless rogue pages; browse-defense[.]com, cimen[.]click, antivirus-stability[.]com, securityservice-pc[.]com, scanuralerts[.]com, and protect-data-2022[.]xyz are merely some examples.

These websites deliver browser notifications that push online scams and malicious content. It has to be mentioned that any genuine products encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered mostongou[.]com and consented to its ad delivery 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 website, do not enable it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously cause redirects to questionable sites unprompted, it could be due to adware installed onto 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.
