Browser notification spam in general

Buymaxfield[.]com, decipient[.]xyz, feelisfile[.]info, and boney-blog[.]com are merely some examples of rogue pages that we have investigated recently.

These websites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content. It must be stressed that while genuine products and services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did browntouchmysky[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications (ads). Therefore, if you are seeing these ads from browntouchmysky[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, consent was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit questionable websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore notification delivery requests from such pages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore them altogether.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to dubious sites, it could be due to 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.
