Browser notification spam in general

Flamehammer[.]top, getfreevpn[.]click, and strongpcfundamentals[.]com are merely a couple examples of rogue pages we have analyzed recently. These websites deliver browser notifications that predominantly promote deceptive and malicious material.

Note that any genuine products or services encountered via these adverts are 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 germantopsuper[.]pw gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed germantopsuper[.]pw and enabled the ad delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

It is pertinent to mention that rogue webpages commonly use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, adult-oriented content, etc.) to trick visitors into allowing notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit questionable webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification delivery from such pages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests altogether.

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, check the browser/system for installed adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
