News-gavewe[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue websites might differ depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this data may determine the content encountered on and through such sites.
When we accessed news-gavewe[.]com, it presented us with bogus CAPTCHA verification. The top of the page had instructions in Russian, telling the visitor to – "Click Allow to confirm"; the larger box in the middle included text – "I am not a robot/ Press Allow to confirm that you are not a robot".

Browser notification spam in general
News-nosate[.]com, stoneheartseeker[.]top, and deepcoreminer[.]top are just a couple examples of rogue pages we have investigated recently. Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content.
It is pertinent to mention that while legitimate content may be encountered via these adverts – it is unlikely to be promoted in this fashion by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did news-gavewe[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites need user permission to display browser notifications. Hence, if you are receiving these advertisements from news-gavewe[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, consent was given by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable questionable websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, check the device 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.
