Browser notification spam in general

We have researched countless rogue sites; vast-conexxion[.]com, titaniumveinshaper[.]com, and endsupreme[.]com are but a few examples. These webpages may look different, but their browser notifications endorse deceptive and malicious content.

Keep in mind that while legitimate products or services may be encountered through these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Permission is required for websites to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you've likely visited ultimatesafeguard[.]com at some point and enabled the advertisement delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit questionable websites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options displayed on such pages. Instead, ignore or deny notification requests – i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious sites 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.
