Browser notification spam in general

Malware-remover[.]online, pclifebasics[.]com, pcbasicessentials[.]com, highpotencyguard[.]com, and knaws[.]top are just some examples of rogue pages that we have examined recently. These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious material.

It is noteworthy that while legitimate products and 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 obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did avob.co[.]in gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely accessed avob.co[.]in at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you enter a questionable webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such sites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed 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.
