Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; requismucuta[.]com, dolty[.]click, yourhypejournal[.]com, defender-pro-2022[.]xyz - are merely some examples.
These sites display browser notifications that endorse online scams and malicious material. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered via these ads are promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did tpnwslndgm[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered tpnwslndgm[.]com and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page - thereby enabling it to display these advertisements.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit suspect websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser keep randomly redirecting to dubious sites without prompt, it could be caused by adware installed onto 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.
