Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue sites; likerus[.]click, mypcdefenderplus[.]site, lilustriousdates[.]net, captchaforcaptcha[.]top, softlifeinfo[.]com – are merely some of our newest finds.

These webpages display browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that any legitimate content encountered through these adverts is most likely promoted by scammers abusing its affiliate programs in order to acquire fraudulent commissions.

How did productprogramm2[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing these ads from productprogramm2[.]com – it means that you've likely entered this page at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit suspect websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring them altogether.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, it could be caused by adware installed onto the browser or 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.
