Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated thousands of rogue pages; forwoobatan[.]com, qtadszone[.]com, adialita[.]com, placugceofres[.]info, applabzzeydoo[.]com – are merely some of our newest finds. These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content.

While legitimate products and services can be encountered through these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the continent's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from sailfishs[.]com – it means that you have likely entered this page and permitted their delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

It is pertinent to mention that rogue sites commonly utilize deceptive tactics (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit dubious websites to display them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification delivery from such pages (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests altogether.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, check the browser/system 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.
