Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue websites; uddininc[.]com, checkingsystem[.]site, euprotection[.]click, getcaptcha[.]top, and prowimoniser[.]com are merely some examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive/malicious material. It is noteworthy that any genuine content encountered through these adverts is most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed updaterlife[.]com and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling the ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a suspicious webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites unprompted, it could be due to adware installed onto 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.
