Browser notification spam in general

Newadsfit[.]com, topmusicalcomedy[.]com, essential-scan[.]com, and fun4me[.]click are merely some examples of rogue websites. They deliver browser notifications that push dangerous content.

However, legitimate products might be encountered through these ads as well, but they are highly unlikely to be promoted by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Hence, you've likely visited nidescar[.]com and pressed (or were tricked into selecting) "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit questionable websites to deliver them. In other words, we advise against pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such pages. Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification requests - selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites without prompt, it could be due to the presence of advertising-supported software (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.
