Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed countless rogue webpages; aguhoa[.]com, myreqdcompany[.]com, and vividcaptcha[.]top are merely a couple of examples.
These websites display browser notifications (adverts) promoting deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered via these ads are unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by their developers. Scammers often abuse affiliate programs of genuine content in order to acquire illegitimate commissions for the promotion.
How did reportyourdefenderdata[.]site gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Sites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Hence, you have likely accessed reportyourdefenderdata[.]site at some point and permitted the ad delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
Keep in mind that rogue pages commonly attempt to deceive visitors into enabling browser notifications by using clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, or other bogus content.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you access a questionable webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not select "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests from such pages (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In case of encounters with continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, check the device for installed 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.
