Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue pages; mob-dataprotection[.]com, protocpz[.]xyz, iamadsnews[.]com, and news-dudafa[.]com are merely some examples. These websites deliver browser notifications that push online scams and malicious content.

It is noteworthy that while legitimate products and services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are highly unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did uidhealth[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications (advertisements) with user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered the uidhealth[.]com page and permitted their delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on it.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable questionable websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification requests from suspect sites (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed onto the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
