Browser notification spam in general

Adeditiontowritingef[.]net, news-fepoho[.]com, and amadadscity[.]com are but a few examples of rogue webpages that we have analyzed recently. These sites deliver browser notifications that mainly endorse deceptive and malicious content.

While legitimate products and services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications (ads) without user consent. Hence, you have likely accessed yourscivblog[.]com at some point and permitted the notification delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a questionable webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery from such pages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites, 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.
