Browser notification spam in general

We have examined countless rogue pages; foupeethaija[.]com, cdadms[.]com, cidsspace[.]com, atradetraveler[.]com – are merely a couple of examples.

While these sites use different lures, their delivered browser notifications endorse deceptive/malicious content. Note that any genuine products/services encountered through these ads are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user permission to display browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these adverts from psoastourd[.]com – it means that you have likely accessed this page at some point and permitted their delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

It is noteworthy that rogue sites commonly used deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification tests, adult-oriented content, etc.) to entice visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a questionable webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.

Should you keep experiencing random unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, it could be caused by 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.
