Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated countless rogue pages; shielding-fordevice[.]com, mobileunderguard[.]com, mobiledevice-guard[.]com, ivvilonn[.]com, and mcafchecking[.]click are just some examples. Websites of this kind deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content.

It is noteworthy that while legitimate products and services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted by their 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 obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did crystalchiseler[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these advertisements from crystalchiseler[.]top – it means that you have likely accessed this webpage at some point and enabled their delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a dubious website – 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., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, 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.
