Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; oneettinlive[.]com, nongloths[.]com, and nkingwitheaam[.]com are merely a few of our latest finds.

These websites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that while genuine products and services can be encountered through these ads – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did fast-redirectus[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these advertisements from fast-redirectus[.]xyz – you have likely visited this webpage at some point and permitted their delivery. In other words, clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable suspect websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification requests from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring them altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites 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.
