Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected numerous rogue pages; topadvastudio[.]com, odestech[.]com, and productlifesoft[.]com are merely a couple examples of our newest finds.

These websites display browser notifications that promote online scams and malicious content. It must be mentioned that any genuine products or services encountered via these ads – are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers/creators. It is most probable that this is undertaken by scammers abusing the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions for the promotion.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from topreqdusa[.]com – it means that you've likely visited this webpage and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious website – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites without prompt, it could be due to the presence of advertising-supporting 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.
