Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; loloszod[.]xyz, news-gavewe[.]com, news-nosate[.]com, stoneheartseeker[.]top, and news-pugabo[.]com are merely some examples. Websites of this kind deliver browser notifications that push online scams and malicious content.
It is noteworthy that while legitimate products/services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did empermin[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can only display browser notifications with user permission. Therefore, you have likely entered empermin[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page – thus enabling the advertisement delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspicious sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery from such pages (i.e., press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open dubious websites without prompt, it could be due to the presence of 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.
