Browser notification spam in general

Getpotectnow[.]click, mobileunderguard[.]com, and crystalchiseler[.]top are just a few examples of rogue webpages that we have investigated recently. These sites deliver browser notifications that mainly endorse deceptive/malicious content.

It is noteworthy that while legitimate products/services may be encountered via these ads – they are highly unlikely to be promoted by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did systemsecurity[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed the systemsecurity[.]click page at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

Keep in mind that rogue webpages commonly use deceptive content (e.g., fake CAPTCHA tests, clickbait, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to dubious sites, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-support software (adware) on 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.
