Browser notification spam in general

The Internet is rife with rogue websites; totalrecaptcha[.]top, dybdended[.]com, and yourtopleveldefence[.]site are just a few examples from the thousands we have analyzed.

These pages display browsing notifications that endorse misleading and dangerous content. Note that any legitimate products/services encountered through these adverts are unlikely to be promoted by their developers or creators. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Sites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. If you are receiving these ads from aavpolse[.]xyz – it means that you've likely accessed this webpage at some point and permitted their delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

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

Should you experience continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, it could be caused by adware installed on 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.
