Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue pages; onenomadtstore[.]com, datingsecret[.]top, and buygadsgroup[.]com are just a few examples.

These websites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that any legitimate products/services encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications (advertisements). Hence, you have likely entered transitnotice[.]com and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option. Note that rogue pages often employ deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling the ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit dubious websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
