What kind of page is newspoldays[.]site?
While inspecting untrustworthy sites, our researchers discovered the newspoldays[.]site rogue webpage. It pushes browser notification spam with the use of fake CAPTCHA, and newspoldays[.]site can redirect users elsewhere (likely unreliable/malicious websites).
Most visitors to notification-spam-promoting sites access them via redirects caused by pages that use rogue advertising networks.
Newspoldays[.]site overview
The behavior of rogue webpages may depend on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this data can determine the content encountered on and through such websites.
When we visited newspoldays[.]site, it presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification - "Press 'Allow' to verify, that you are not [a] robot". These bogus instructions are intended to lure users into enabling newspoldays[.]site to display browser notifications. Rogue pages use them to run intrusive ad campaigns.
When we pressed "Allow", it resulted in a redirect to a site running a scam similar to "AMAZON TRIAL", "Win A New iPhone 13", "Chrome Search Contest 2022", and countless others.
The advertisements/notifications delivered by rogue webpages endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware. Therefore, through sites like newspoldays[.]site - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; ijony[.]click, daphomost[.]com, ourbestspot[.]com, and yourdevicesprotected[.]com are merely some examples.
These websites display browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious material. Note that any legitimate products/services encountered through these ads are unlikely to be endorsed by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the affiliate programs of genuine content - in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did newspoldays[.]site gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, if you are seeing these ads from newspoldays[.]site - it means that you've likely entered this webpage and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not enable suspect sites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open questionable websites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
