Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected countless rogue websites; read-the-article[.]com, downloaderfiles[.]cloud, and pharmaddscompany[.]com are merely a few examples.

These pages promote online scams and malicious content.

It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

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, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery requests from such webpages.

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious sites without prompt, it could be caused by adware installed onto it or the 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.
