Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; noutzing[.]com, hot-investing-news[.]com, liffswithabr[.]com, link2captcha[.]top, helllomedias[.]com – are merely some examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive/malicious material. Note that any legitimate content encountered via these adverts is most likely promoted by scammers abusing its affiliate programs in order to acquire fraudulent commissions.

How did news-wemipo[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications (ads) without user permission. Therefore, you've likely accessed news-wemipo[.]cc and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

Keep in mind that rogue pages often use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing continuous rogue redirects, 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.
