Aguhoa[.]com overview

The content promoted on and through rogue sites may depend on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). When we investigated aguhoa[.]com, it ran a variant of the "FedEx PACKAGE WAITING" scam. It claims that the user has a package (in this case, a Samsung QLED TV) waiting for delivery.

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; vividcaptcha[.]top, myreqdcompany[.]com, opposeetwo[.]xyz, reportyouridentitydata[.]site, updaterdesign[.]com, and sulseerg[.]com are just some examples.

Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive/malicious content. While genuine products/services can be encountered through these advertisements – they are most likely to be endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered aguhoa[.]com at some point and permitted the ad delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do you not permit questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
