Utationforh[.]buzz in detail

Utationforh[.]buzz displays a message requesting visitors to click the "Allow" button to continue to the page. It suggests that visitors cannot load the page without agreeing to receive notifications.

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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
