Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated numerous rogue pages; psoastourd[.]com, foupeethaija[.]com, cdadms[.]com, and atradestays[.]com are but a few examples. These websites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious material.

It is noteworthy that while genuine content may be encountered through these advertisements – it is unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers motivated to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing the promoted product's affiliate programs.

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

No webpage can deliver browser notifications without user consent, and mtxadvert[.]com is not an exception. Therefore, you've likely visited this site at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Be selective about which websites you permit to display browser notifications. Do not enable suspicious pages to do so, i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options. Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such webpages, i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed 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.
