Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue pages; reliablepcsearch[.]com, checkingsystem[.]site, and smartreviewglobal[.]com are just a few examples.

These sites display browser notifications that promote online scams and malicious content. Keep in mind that while genuine products and services can be encountered through these ads – they are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did kennu[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely accessed kennu[.]click at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option displayed on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a questionable webpage – do not enable it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not select "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification requests from such pages (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore them altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware) on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
