Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; authenticpcnetwork[.]com, euhelpcenter[.]click, maincaptchanow[.]top, usprotection[.]click, and thebestcaptcha[.]top are merely some examples.
These sites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious material. Note that any legitimate products or services encountered through these advertisements are highly unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is most likely undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did us-safehub[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed us-safehub[.]click at some point and permitted the ad delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed on 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.
