Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated thousands of rogue pages; worldcoolnewz[.]com, purabissalorter[.]com, disjuncove[.]com, sweepstakessurveytoday[.]org, and atedmonastyd[.]xyz are just some examples of our newest finds. These sites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive/malicious material.
It must be stressed that any legitimate products/services encountered via these adverts are 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 news-dudafa[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed news-dudafa[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.
It is noteworthy that rogue sites often use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA tests, adult-oriented content, and other deception to lure visitors into enabling notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspect webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification delivery from such sites (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests altogether.
Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, it could be due to adware installed on 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.
