Websites of this type in general
Utationforh[.]buzz is similar to requismucuta[.]com, notquiteso[.]buzz, headcaptcha[.]live, and many other deceptive websites. Most of them use clickbait techniques to lure visitors into allowing them to show notifications. Also, they often redirect visitors to other pages of this kind. In all cases, they cannot be trusted.
How did utationforh[.]buzz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
A web page can start showing notifications after a visitor clicks the "Allow" button displayed by a browser while that page is opened. No website can show notifications without permission. The same applies to utationforh[.]buzz. This page shows notifications because it has been allowed to show them.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Do not trust websites instructing you to click the "Allow" button to perform certain actions (e.g., prove that you are not a robot, play a video, download a file, etc.). If you do not wish to receive any notifications from the opened page, click the "Block" or "Block Notifications" button or close it.
If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
