Browser notification spam in general

We have examined thousands of rogue pages; mafirst[.]site, chotorexsurvey[.]space, aumsuthysurvey[.]space – are merely a few of our newest finds.

These websites display browser notifications endorsing deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that any reputable/genuine content encountered through these ads is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications (advertisements). Therefore, you have likely entered misarea[.]com and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage – thus enabling the ad delivery.

Note that rogue webpages often use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA tests, and other questionable/misleading content to deceive visitors into allowing notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

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

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites, 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.
