Ewoverth[.]buzz overview
It must be noted that how rogue webpages operate (i.e., what they host and/or endorse) may vary depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation.

Browser notification spam in general
Casualdatingmeetup[.]com, device-variety[.]xyz, and selfarouck[.]xyz are merely a couple examples of rogue pages that we have examined recently. These sites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.
It must be stressed that while legitimate products/services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their developers. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did ewoverth[.]buzz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from ewoverth[.]buzz – it means that you have likely visited this page and permitted their delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you access a dubious webpage – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such pages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites without prompt, 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.
