Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated numerous rogue webpages; arrowtoldilim[.]com, securecaptchatop[.]top, and updateinfoacademy[.]com are merely a couple of examples. These sites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive/malicious content.
Note that any legitimate products or services encountered via these ads are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual 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 easylifescan[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving these adverts from easylifescan[.]com – it means that you have likely visited this page and permitted their delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you access a suspect webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.
It is noteworthy that adware installed onto a browser/system may generate 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.
