Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed numerous rogue webpages; flintguard[.]top, fasterantiviruspc[.]com, captchaglow[.]top, and arachidenews[.]com are merely a few examples.

These sites display browser notifications (ads) promoting deceptive and malicious material. It is noteworthy that any legitimate content encountered via these adverts is unlikely to be endorsed by its actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the affiliate programs of genuine products in order to obtain legitimate commissions.

How did spin2wincash[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you've likely visited spin2wincash[.]xyz and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage and thus permitted the ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable questionable websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious webpages without prompt, it could be due to 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.
