Browser notification spam in general

Bindsusa[.]com, artistictastesnly[.]info, qjrhacxxk[.]xyz, and earthheartsmith[.]com are but a few rogue websites we have written about recently. While these pages can look different and use various lures to bait users into enabling browser notification delivery, these ads promote deceptive and malicious content irregardless.

It is noteworthy that any genuine products/services encountered through these notifications are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you have likely visited bindsnetwork[.]com at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling the advertisement delivery.

It is pertinent to mention that rogue sites often use deceptive content (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, etc.) to trick visitors into allowing notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable suspect sites to deliver them. In other words, do not select "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options on such webpages. We advise denying notification delivery from suspicious pages (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable websites unprompted, it could be due to adware installed on it or the 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.
