Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed numerous rogue websites; detectmus[.]com, bguhnh[.]com, and psoufauh[.]com are merely a few examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications that predominantly endorse deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that any genuine content encountered via these ads is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did edrubyglo[.]buzz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only display browser notifications (ads) with user consent. Hence, you have likely accessed the edrubyglo[.]buzz page and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thus enabling the notification delivery.

Note that rogue webpages often use deceptive content (e.g., fake CAPTCHA, clickbait, etc.) to lure visitors into allowing notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious website – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore them in their entirety.

Should you keep experiencing unprompted redirects to suspect 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.
