Browser notification spam in general

Buyadvupforgroup[.]com, newcaptchahere[.]top, webuddingroup[.]com, and atinsolutions[.]com are merely some examples of rogue websites we have investigated recently.

These pages deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that any genuine products/services encountered via these ads are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you have likely visited cfrsoft[.]com and enabled the advertisement delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious site – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable websites, 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.

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
