Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue pages; sopuw[.]click, fynweb[.]com, ponuadema[.]com, allprotectpc[.]com, and pushyoumail[.]com are merely some examples.

These websites promote deceptive and malicious material. It is noteworthy that while legitimate products can be encountered via these ads, they are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the product's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely entered ourhugenews[.]com at some point and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a questionable page, 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., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

And should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites without prompt, it could be caused by 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.
