Browser notification spam in general

Firecrafters[.]top, adeditiontowritingef[.]net, yourscivblog[.]com, codslife[.]com, and amadadscity[.]com are merely some examples of rogue webpages we have investigated recently. These sites deliver browser notifications that primarily push deceptive/malicious content.

Keep in mind that while legitimate products and services may be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did scanyourpc[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

User permission is necessary for websites to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these adverts from scanyourpc[.]click – it means that when this page was visited, consent was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests altogether.

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious sites, check the device 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.
