Browser notification spam in general

Webdespardllc[.]com, captchawizard[.]top, and checkrobotpage[.]online are just a couple examples of rogue webpages that we have investigated recently. Sites within this classification deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive/malicious content.

It must be stressed that while it is possible to encounter legitimate products or services through these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did butteraalsofour[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications (advertisements) without user permission. Pages are permitted to display this content when a visitor selects "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on them. The same applies to the butteraalsofour[.]xyz webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a questionable website – do not enable it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification requests from suspect pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring them altogether.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to untrustworthy 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.
