Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; reportyourdefenderdata[.]site, aguhoa[.]com, myreqdcompany[.]com, and vividcaptcha[.]top are merely a few of our latest finds.

These websites display browser notifications that promote online scams and malicious material. Note that any legitimate content pushed through these ads is unlikely to be endorsed by its actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse affiliate programs of genuine products in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these adverts from menispirfly[.]com – it means that you have likely accessed this page and permitted the notification delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

Like the variant of menispirfly[.]com that we investigated, many rogue webpages use deception to trick visitors into enabling notification/advertisement delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification requests from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser keep force-opening suspicious sites without prompt, it could be caused by 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.
