Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; broadmaster[.]top, gazpachuisthree[.]xyz, desktopanalyticscenter[.]site, and securityguardplus[.]site are merely some examples.

These sites display browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products/services encountered through these advertisements – are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the affiliate programs of genuine content in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did youractualjournal[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed youractualjournal[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page – thus enabling the advertisement delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery requests from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious sites, 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.
