Browser notification spam in general

Battlehammer[.]top, poznerterswe[.]com, heavypcchained[.]com, oneadvnpclub[.]com, and globaledyta[.]com are merely some examples of rogue pages that we have analyzed recently. These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content.

It is noteworthy that any legitimate products/services encountered via these ads – are highly unlikely to be promoted by their developers or other official parties. Instead, it is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications (adverts) without user permission. Therefore, you have likely entered findatingpulse[.]live and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage – thus enabling the ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspect sites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such webpages (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing redirects to questionable websites without prompt, it could be due to 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.
