Browser notification spam in general

Fieryforgekeeper[.]top, notif-next[.]com, germantopsuper[.]pw, and flamehammer[.]top are just a few examples of rogue pages that we have investigated recently. Websites of this kind deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.

It must be mentioned that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did checkmerobotornot[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

No website can display browsing notifications without user permission, and checkmerobotornot[.]com is not an exception. Therefore, if you are receiving adverts from this page – it means that you've likely visited checkmerobotornot[.]com at some point and enabled the advertisement delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a questionable webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options presented on such pages. Instead, we advise denying notification delivery – i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc. – or ignoring these requests altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites without prompt, it could be due to the presence of advertising-supported 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.
