Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated countless rogue pages; not-robot[.]top, allcommonstories[.]com, aahdxn[.]com, easypcscan[.]com, and uidhealth[.]com are merely some examples. These websites display browser notifications that endorse online scams and malicious content.
Keep in mind that any legitimate products/services encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. 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 monadvs[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications (advertisements). Therefore, you have likely entered the monadvs[.]com webpage and permitted their delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspect sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery from such websites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to questionable webpages, 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.
