Browser notification spam in general

Tapaness[.]com, topreosclub[.]com, seatzellc[.]com, and news-yepiwu[.]cc are merely some of our latest articles on rogue webpages. Sites of this kind display browser notifications that endorse online scams and malicious content.

Keep in mind that while legitimate products or services may be encountered through these ads – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.

How did us-av-protection[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

All websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely entered us-av-protection[.]com and permitted the advertisement delivery by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspect sites to deliver them. We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from dubious webpages (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable websites without prompt, 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.
