Browser notification spam in general
We have inspected numerous rogue sites; check-tl-ver-12-7[.]top, omcaterpieom[.]com, and breliu[.]shop are just a couple of examples. These pages display browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content – but the websites themselves can differ drastically in appearance.
It is pertinent to mention that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via these notifications/adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by any official parties. This promotion is most likely performed by scammers motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.
How did checkoutallc[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
You have likely accessed checkoutallc[.]com at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – since no website can deliver these ads without user permission.
It is worth mentioning that rogue sites commonly use deceptive content (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification tests, clickbait, etc.) to entice visitors into enabling notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Be selective about which sites you permit to display browser notifications. Do not allow suspicious pages to do so; instead, ignore or deny their notification requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, check the browser/system for installed adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
