Browser notification spam in general

Feelisfile[.]info, boney-blog[.]com, and poisakertwo[.]xyz are merely a couple examples of rogue websites that we have inspected recently. Sites of this kind display browser notifications that predominantly promote online scams and malicious content.

While legitimate products and services can be encountered via these adverts – 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 to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

You have likely accessed decipient[.]xyz at some point and permitted the notification (ad) delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage – since no website can deliver this content without user consent.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a questionable webpage – do not enable it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). In this case, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, it could be caused by adware installed onto 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.
