Notifonline[.]com overview

It must be mentioned that the content encountered on and through rogue sites might be determined by the visitor's IP address (geolocation).

Browser notification spam in general

Forgeart[.]top, news-numefe[.]cc, and tpwrldnws[.]com are but a couple examples of rogue webpages we have investigated recently. These sites may appear legitimate, yet the notifications they display promote deceptive/malicious content.

It is noteworthy that while genuine products or services may be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed by their developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only display browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, if you are seeing these adverts from notifonline[.]com – it means that you have likely entered this webpage and permitted their delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

Keep in mind that rogue sites commonly utilize deceptive tactics (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.) to lure visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspect pages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allowed Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring notification requests or denying them (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, it could be due to adware installed onto the browser or 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
