Removing the notifications/ads delivered by the tonit.click website

What kind of page is tonit[.]click?

Tonit[.]click is a rogue webpage that our researchers discovered during a routine inspection of suspicious sites. It is designed to load deceptive content, promote browser notification spam, and redirect visitors to other (likely untrustworthy/harmful) websites. Most users typically access such sites via redirects caused by rogue advertising networks.

Tonit[.]click overview

The behavior of rogue webpages can depend on visitors' IP addresses (geolocations). Hence, this information can determine the content encountered on and through these sites.

When we inspected tonit[.]click, it presented us with the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam. This content is falsely presented as the McAfee anti-virus, which is in no way associated with this scam. Furthermore, no site can actually detect issues on visitors' devices - hence, any that make such claims (including tonit[.]click) are scams. Typically, schemes of this kind are used to promote untrustworthy, fraudulent, and even malicious applications.

What is more, tonit[.]click requested visitors to enable tonit[.]click to deliver browser notifications. If users allow this webpage to display the notifications - they will be spammed with advertisements promoting online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and malware.

To summarize, through sites like tonit[.]click - users experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; stronger-protection[.]com, stable-scan[.]com, dailysurveyreward[.]online, and adslivetraining[.]com are merely some examples.

These websites deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content. It is pertinent to mention that any legitimate products encountered via these ads are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did tonit[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered tonit[.]click and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option - thereby enabling the delivery of these ads.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery from such sites (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious webpages, 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.
