Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated thousands of rogue pages; empermin[.]com, loloszod[.]xyz, news-gavewe[.]com, and deepcoreminer[.]top are merely some examples. These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content.
It is pertinent to mention that while legitimate products or services might be encountered via these advertisements – they are unlikely to be promoted 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 to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did arkakunaa[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Hence, you have likely entered arkakunaa[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage – thus enabling the ad delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you access a suspect webpage – do not enable it 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.
Should your browser continuously force-open dubious websites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed on it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
