Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; gazpachuisthree[.]xyz, securityguardplus[.]site, batus[.]click, and yourtopdefencebulwark[.]site are just a few examples.

These sites display browser notifications promoting deceptive/malicious content. While legitimate products and services can be encountered via these adverts – they are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their developers/creators. Instead, this is likely done by scammers who abuse the affiliate programs of genuine content in order to acquire illegitimate commissions for the promotion.

How did broadmaster[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications (ads) without user permission. Therefore, if you are receiving them from broadmaster[.]top – it means that you have likely visited this webpage at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a suspicious website – do not allow it to display browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such pages. Instead, we advised ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser keep redirecting to questionable sites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
