Browser notification spam in general
Winsafe[.]xyz, theupgradedata[.]com, mydailydatareport[.]site, webfreshupdater[.]com - are merely some examples of rogue websites that we have inspected recently.
These pages deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive and malicious content. It has to be mentioned that any legitimate products encountered via these ads are most likely promoted by scammers abusing their affiliate programs with the goal of acquiring commissions fraudulently.
How did allactualspot[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed allactualspot[.]com and permitted the ad delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
It is noteworthy that rogue webpages often employ deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, etc.) to deceive visitors into enabling notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit suspect websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open dubious 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.
