In more seldom instances, they endorse malware (e.g., trojans, ransomware, etc.). For more information, check out our article on the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam.

Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated numerous rogue webpages; greatcaptchanow[.]top, slinponga[.]xyz, powerpcfact[.]com, lepigthree[.]xyz, and justcoolcaptcha[.]top are merely a few of our latest finds.

These sites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that any legitimate products/services encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their developers. Instead, this endorsement is typically undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications (ads) with user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed stablepcprotection[.]com at some point and enabled the advertisement delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option displayed on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit suspect sites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such webpages. Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing continuous random redirects to questionable websites, it could be caused by adware installed on 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.
