Browser notification spam in general

Atthewon[.]buzz, news-lihuve[.]com, fixgroupfactor[.]com, and mediumhiquality[.]com are merely some examples of rogue pages that we have inspected recently.

These websites deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that any genuine products/services encountered via these advertisements – are most likely promoted by scammers abusing their affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed gettruevinet[.]com and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page – thus enabling the advert 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 click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious sites without prompt, 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.
