Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; mysecuritydatabase[.]live, steadycaptcha[.]live, and nativepclink[.]com are merely a few examples.

These sites display browser notifications that endorse online scams and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered via these ads are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely entered alltopspot[.]com at some point and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option - thus enabling the advertisement delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browse notifications, do not permit dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites without prompt, 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.
