Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated countless rogue pages; amidads[.]com, alltopjournal[.]com, scanyourpc[.]click, yourscivblog[.]com, and news-fepoho[.]com are merely some examples. These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material.
Note that while legitimate content may be encountered via these adverts – it is unlikely to be promoted by its developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did veinmaster[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered veinmaster[.]top and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling this page to display advertisements.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit dubious sites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such webpages. Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery from such pages – click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.
Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites unprompted, 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.
