Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected countless rogue webpages; webdespardllc[.]com, captchawizard[.]top, akice-co[.]in, and online-deal[.]click are merely a few examples of our latest finds. These sites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content.

It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable pages, it could be due to 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.
