Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; secureyourdatabase[.]live, steadycaptcha[.]live, and protectionservicespc[.]site are merely a couple of examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive and malicious content. Note that any genuine products encountered via these adverts are most likely promoted by scammers abusing their affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did nativepclink[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. If you are receiving these advertisements from nativepclink[.]com, it means that you've likely entered this page and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications from questionable websites - do not permit their delivery (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect sites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (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.
