Removing the notifications/ads delivered by the datingstyle.top site
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is datingstyle[.]top?
During a routine inspection of untrustworthy websites, our researchers discovered the datingstyle[.]top rogue page. It promotes spam browser notifications and redirects visitors to other (likely unreliable/malicious) sites.
Users most commonly access webpages like datingstyle[.]top via redirects generated by websites that use rogue advertising networks.
Datingstyle[.]top overview
It is pertinent to mention that how rogue sites operate (i.e., what they load/endorse) might vary depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.
When we investigated datingstyle[.]top, it presented us with vaguely adult-oriented clickbait – "If you are 18+, click Allow". If a user is deceived by this (i.e., they press the "Allow" button), they will inadvertently permit the webpage to deliver browser notifications. These advertisements promote online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware.
Therefore, through websites like datingstyle[.]top – users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
Recutasseuccars[.]com, gaming-trending-news[.]com, edrubyglo[.]buzz, and gadkasdomm[.]com are just some examples of rogue pages we have inspected recently. These sites display browser notifications that primarily promote deceptive and malicious content.
While legitimate products/services may be encountered via these ads – they are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did datingstyle[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications (advertisements) without user consent. Therefore, it is most likely that when datingstyle[.]top was visited, you clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page – thus enabling the notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
It is paramount to exercise caution while browsing since fake and malicious online content usually appears legitimate and harmless. To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit questionable websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests from such webpages (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites unprompted, it could be caused by adware installed 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.
