Browser notification spam in general
We have written about countless rogue pages; realilitnow[.]club, news-yahita[.]com, transiouratwat[.]com, and news-vukihu[.]com are just a few of our newest articles. These websites deliver suspicious browser notifications despite their potentially legitimate and innocuous appearance.
It is noteworthy that while genuine products/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 promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the endorsed content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did doidacers[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Hence, if you are seeing these ads from doidacers[.]com – it means that when this webpage was visited, consent to their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit questionable webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such sites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, check the browser and 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.
