Browser notification spam in general

Waicaiwhosha[.]com, mydailysecurityguard[.]site, filedownloader[.]cloud, and monterrey[.]top are merely some examples of rogue webpages.

These sites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive/malicious content. While legitimate products/services can be encountered via these adverts, they are unlikely to be promoted by the actual developers/creators. Scammers often abuse affiliate programs of genuine content in order to obtain illegitimate commissions for the endorsement.

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

Websites need user consent to display browser notifications. If you are receiving these ads from championtest[.]com - it means that you've likely visited this page and permitted the notification delivery by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable questionable websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser keep force opening suspicious sites unprompted, it could be due to adware installed on 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.
