Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; captchaglow[.]top, arachidenews[.]com, editormoney[.]com, and menispirfly[.]com are merely some of our latest finds.

These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products/services encountered via these advertisements are highly unlikely to be promoted by their developers/creators. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the affiliate programs of genuine content in order to acquire legitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user permission to display browser notifications (ads). If you are receiving these advertisements from fasterantiviruspc[.]com – it means that you've likely visited this webpage at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on it.

It is pertinent to mention that rogue pages often use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling the notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious website – do not permit it to display browsing notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests from such sites (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously redirect to questionable webpages, 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.
