More about websites of this type

Typically, users open web pages of this type via shady advertisements and pages that use rogue advertising networks (e.g., illegal movie streaming pages and torrent sites). Sometimes, such pages are promoted via advertising-supported applications. In addition to showing deceptive content, these websites can redirect visitors to other untrustworthy pages.

Examples of similar websites are dokookamida[.]com, venadvonline[.]com, and mywowspot[.]com.

How did video***[.]space gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Visitors allow websites to show notifications by clicking the "Allow" (or equivalent) button while visiting them. No page can send notifications without permission. It means that videofin[.]space, videobtc[.]space, videoeth[.]space, videofun[.]space, or another page was visited, and the "Allow" button was clicked while visiting it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Never click the "Allow" or similar button if you do not wish to receive notifications from a website. Especially when a page claims that it is required to click that button to prove that you are not a robot, watch a video, confirm your age, etc. Click the "Block" or "Block Notifications" button or close such pages.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
