How to stop news-fepoho.com from displaying unwanted notifications

What kind of page is news-fepoho[.]com?

After analyzing news-fepoho[.]com, it has come to our attention that this site is part of a network of deceptive pages that display misleading content to entice visitors into granting permission for notifications. Beyond employing deceptive tactics to acquire notification permissions, news-fepoho[.]com redirects users to similar websites.

News-fepoho[.]com in detail

News-fepoho[.]com employs a misleading tactic by presenting a message that falsely asserts a browser check is currently underway. This deceptive message urges visitors to click the "Allow" button under the pretense that it is a necessary step to access the intended page content. In reality, this is a ploy to trick users into granting permission for notifications.

The misleading claim of a browser check creates a sense of urgency or importance, coercing users into taking action without fully understanding the consequences. Once the "Allow" button is clicked, users unwittingly give the website permission to send notifications, opening the door for potential unwanted messages, advertisements, or other intrusive content.

Notifications from news-fepoho[.]com have the potential to open a variety of pages, leading users to similar deceptive websites or platforms hosting potentially unwanted content. These pages may include fraudulent surveys, phishing scams, clickbait articles, or even malicious sites aiming to distribute malware or further misleading information.

It has also been found that news-fepoho[.]com can redirect to similar websites. One of these pages is palmosx[.]com. This site displays a fake video player and a deceptive message to trick visitors into allowing the page to send deceptive notifications. Thus, it is strongly recommended not to trust news-fepoho[.]com and associated websites.

How did news-fepoho[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Deceptive websites like news-fepoho[.]com frequently utilize cunning strategies to dupe users into authorizing notification permissions. These sites commonly use misleading pop-up messages, coaxing users to click the "Allow" button under false pretenses, whether it be to confirm their age, play a video, gain access to content, or pass a CAPTCHA.

Clicking the "Allow" button gives the website the green light to send notifications. Consequently, news-fepoho[.]com engages in notification delivery only because you have unwittingly granted it the necessary permission.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Users should exercise caution when engaging with unfamiliar websites and meticulously assess permission requests before approving. If an untrustworthy page requests permission to display notifications, users are recommended to opt for the "Block", "Deny", or an equivalent option provided by their browser to avoid any undesired notifications.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
