Browser notification spam in general

Qtadszone[.]com, adialita[.]com, news-gacive[.]cc, and downlodaulsmn[.]sbs are merely some examples of rogue webpages we have examined recently.

Sites of this kind display browser notifications that push deceptive/malicious content. It is noteworthy that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via these adverts – 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 acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

No webpage can deliver browser notifications without user consent, and forwoobatan[.]com is not an exception. Therefore, if you are receiving these advertisements from this page – it means that you've likely visited forwoobatan[.]com at some point and permitted the delivery by clicking "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 suspicious webpages to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring notification requests from such pages or denying them (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites without prompt, it could be caused by 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.
