Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated numerous rogue sites; discoverpcpotential[.]com, containeret[.]com, and news-xagedi[.]cc are just a couple examples of our newest finds. These webpages display browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious material.

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

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Hence, you have likely entered tpwrldnws[.]com at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

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.). We advise denying notification delivery from such sites (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

Should your browser keep spontaneously redirecting to questionable websites, it could be due to 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.
