Browser notification spam in general

Flintguard[.]top, fasterantiviruspc[.]com, safecaretech[.]online, captchaglow[.]top, and editormoney[.]com are just some examples of rogue pages that we have inspected recently.

These sites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content. While legitimate products can be encountered through these advertisements – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Scammers often abuse affiliate programs of genuine content in order to acquire illegitimate commissions for its promotion.

How did reliabledesktopguard[.]site gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from reliabledesktopguard[.]site – it means that you've likely accessed this page at some point and permitted their 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 you not permit suspicious sites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such pages. Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing unprompted redirects to questionable websites, it could be caused by adware installed onto the browser or 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.
