Browser notification spam in general

We have examined thousands of rogue websites; earthheartsmith[.]com, updates-mac[.]com, and news-fujopo[.]cc are merely a couple of examples. Pages of this kind may appear legitimate and use different tactics to push their browser notifications.

These adverts primarily endorse deceptive and malicious content. While legitimate products/services may be encountered through them – this content is unlikely to be promoted by any official parties. This endorsement is most likely the abuse of affiliate programs by scammers who seek to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did paraboobs[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

All webpages require user consent to display browser notifications. If you are seeing these ads from paraboobs[.]xyz – it means that when this site was visited, permission for the delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Be selective about which websites you permit to deliver browser notifications. Do you not enable suspicious pages to do so (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.), and instead ignore or deny these requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable websites 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.
