Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected numerous rogue webpages; webaddictremind[.]xyz, captchafair[.]top, allnicespot[.]com, mywebsecurityguard[.]site, and cophypserous[.]com are merely some examples of our latest finds.

These sites display notifications (ads) that endorse deceptive and malicious material. While legitimate products and services can be encountered through these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers/creators. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse affiliate programs of genuine content in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without explicit user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving these advertisements from dozefive[.]xyz – it means that you have likely accessed this page and permitted the notification/ad delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

Note that many rogue sites employ deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, etc.) – to trick users into enabling the browser notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them. In other words, we advise against clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options displayed on such pages. Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests by clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to dubious sites, 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.
