Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated thousands of rogue pages; blowpush[.]com, getadvnp[.]com, sarboundected[.]com, and adthereis[.]buzz are merely some examples. These websites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content.

It is noteworthy that while legitimate products/services can be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did boney-blog[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications (advertisements) without user consent. Therefore, you've likely accessed boney-blog[.]com and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a questionable webpage – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options displayed on such pages. We advise denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring them altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites – it could be caused by the 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.
