Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; getarrectlive[.]com, device-defense[.]com, and etingplansfo[.]buzz are merely a few examples of our newest finds. These sites deliver browser notifications that endorse online scams and malicious content.

Note that while legitimate products and services can be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted by their developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only display browser notifications with user permission. Therefore, if you are receiving these advertisements from fyngood[.]com – it means that when this webpage was accessed, consent was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious website – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not select "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests from such pages (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites, it could be caused by the presence of adware 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.
