Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated thousands of rogue pages; owletguide[.]com, gosteadybuddy[.]store, gosteadyplaymate[.]store, captchasafe[.]top, ritingsynther[.]com, and realbeyondcook[.]com are merely some of our latest finds. These websites deliver browser notifications that push deceptive/malicious content.

It must be stressed that while legitimate products/services may be encountered through these adverts – they are highly unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Browser notification delivery cannot occur without user permission. Therefore, you have likely visited rechanque[.]com and permitted the ad delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option displayed on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a questionable website – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not select "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options presented on such pages. We advise ignoring notification delivery or denying it – clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious 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.
