Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated countless rogue webpages; yoursmartsecurityguards[.]club, update-macos[.]com, quacky[.]club, and wholehotposts[.]com are merely some examples. Despite their varied appearance, these sites display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.

Note that while genuine products/services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did nortos[.]fun gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving these adverts from nortos[.]fun – it means that when this page was accessed, consent to their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable suspect 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 in their entirety.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to questionable websites, it could be due to adware installed on 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.
