Browser notification spam in general

We have examined numerous rogue pages; phaliconic[.]com, yourshields24[.]club, likudservices[.]com, and lovelypush[.]club are merely some examples. Rogue websites deliver browser notifications that promote online scams and malicious content.

It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the promoted content's affiliate programs.

All websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing these ads from mypholasshop[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect 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.
