Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; softstrorright[.]com, lightfoot[.]top, and nowcaptchahere[.]top are merely a couple examples of ones we have inspected recently.

These sites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material. It is pertinent to mention that while legitimate content can be encountered through these ads – it is unlikely to be promoted by its actual developers. Instead, it is most likely undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions for the promotion.

How did thebestcaptcha[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you've likely entered thebestcaptcha[.]top at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling the ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on such pages. Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery – i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed onto it or the present. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
