Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated countless rogue pages; obiumblers[.]com, knuckledzone[.]com, sadrettinnow[.]com, captchagenius[.]top – are merely some examples. These websites display browser notifications that push online scams and malicious content.

It must be stressed that while legitimate products/services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are highly unlikely to be promoted by their 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 reqdfit[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to display browser notifications. Hence, if you are receiving these adverts from reqdfit[.]com – it means that consent was given (i.e., "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option clicked) during a visit to this page.

It is noteworthy that rogue sites often use fake CAPTCHA, clickbait, or other deceptive content to trick visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspect websites to deliver them. In other words, do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such pages. We advise ignoring or denying notification requests – i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites unprompted, it could be due to adware installed on it or the 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.
