Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated countless rogue sites; abyssalforge[.]top, streamvideoplayer.co[.]in, codsmedia[.]com, and dersibledozeder[.]com are merely a couple of examples. Webpages of this kind deliver browser notifications that endorse online scams and malicious content.

Note that while legitimate products and services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the contacts' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did lightninganvil[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you've likely entered lightninganvil[.]top at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling the ad delivery.

Keep in mind that rogue pages often use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, adult-oriented content, etc.) to push browser notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable suspect websites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such pages. Instead, deny notification delivery – press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc. – or ignore these requests altogether.

Should your browser keep redirecting to questionable sites 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.
