Browser notification spam in general

Groovinews[.]com, gripehealth[.]com, unonontate[.]com, and ronadforyousystems[.]com are merely a few examples of rogue pages that we have inspected recently. These websites display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious material.

It must be mentioned that while legitimate content may be encountered through these adverts – it is highly unlikely to be endorsed by its developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse a product's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did gserience[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications (advertisements) with user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered the gserience[.]xyz page at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thus enabling the notification/ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable questionable websites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options presented by such pages. Instead, ignore or deny notification requests – i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, it could be caused by 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.
