These webpages deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that any genuine products/services encountered through these adverts are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did canettech[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can only display browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed canettech[.]com at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page – thus permitting the advertisement delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit suspicious sites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.
Should your browser continuously force-open suspect websites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
