Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated thousands of rogue pages; mcafchecking[.]click, ind-securedsmcd[.]live, re-captha-version-3-21[.]top, mobiledevice-protection[.]com, and totalfreshwords[.]com are merely some examples. Websites of this kind deliver browser notifications promoting online scams and malicious content.
While legitimate products and services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are highly 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 rentlysearchin[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites need user permission to display browser notifications. Hence, if you are receiving these advertisements from rentlysearchin[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, consent for their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
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.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery from such websites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should you keep experiencing random redirects to dubious webpages, 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.
