Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; dollarsurvey[.]top, ronadforyousystems[.]com, centrumbook[.]com, and dariolelab[.]com are merely some examples. These sites display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.

While legitimate products or services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are highly unlikely to be endorsed 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 in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did fastcheck[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from fastcheck[.]top – it means that when this webpage was visited, consent was given by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you access a suspicious webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such sites (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

It is noteworthy that adware may be capable of generating unprompted redirects to questionable websites. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
