Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; advaguru[.]com, legivenestatery[.]com, and topadvshop[.]com are just a few of our newest finds.

These sites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate content encountered through these advertisements is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did news-hexuma[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from news-hexuma[.]com – it means you've likely accessed this page and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such webpages (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites unprompted, it could be due to 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.
