Browser notification spam in general
Chainedprotol[.]com, alldefensepc[.]com, and defendpcpro[.]xyz are merely a couple examples of rogue webpages that we have analyzed recently.
These websites display notifications endorsing online scams and malicious content. While legitimate products/services can be encountered via these adverts - they are highly unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did yourcommonblog[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user permission to display browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing these adverts from yourcommonblog[.]com - it means that you have likely visited this webpage and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option - thus enabling the notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not consent to their delivery from suspicious sites (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open dubious websites unprompted, it could be caused by the presence of 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.
