Wholenicefeed[.]com overview

When we investigated wholenicefeed[.]com, it presented us with a white page containing a loading bar and deceptive instructions.

Browser notification spam in general

Youngmedias[.]biz, webvenadvdesign[.]com, prizesleads[.]com, and yourvenadvllc[.]com are merely some examples of rogue webpages that we have inspected recently.

These pages deliver browser notifications endorsing various scams and malicious content. It must be mentioned that any genuine products or services encountered via these adverts are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Sites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from wholenicefeed[.]com – it means that you have likely entered this webpage and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit dubious websites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options displayed on such pages. We recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery by selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect sites, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
