Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; quickpcscanner[.]com, homecarelesspower[.]click, stabilitysupport[.]com, and pcprimedefense[.]com are merely some examples.

These pages display browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious content. It has to be mentioned that any legitimate products/services encountered via these ads are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers or creators. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the content's affiliate programs with the aim of acquiring illegitimate commissions.

How did secureyourdatabase[.]live gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you have likely entered secureyourdatabase[.]live at some point and given it permission by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a dubious website, do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites unprompted, it could be caused by adware installed onto it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
