Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; xxx-offers[.]com, webregadvertising[.]com, lundiapoditing[.]com, and pc-protections[.]com are merely some examples.
These sites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious material. It has to be stressed that any genuine content encountered via these ads is highly unlikely to be promoted by its developers/creators. This endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did fun4me[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
User permission is necessary for websites to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these advertisements from fun4me[.]click - it means that you've likely visited it and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option displayed on this page.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you access a suspicious webpage, do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open dubious sites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed onto the browser or system.
