Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated numerous rogue pages; nwsbstwrld[.]com, nexaapptwp[.]top, and retrioni[.]net are merely a couple of examples. Websites of this kind deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive/malicious content, although the pages may appear legitimate and harmless.

It is noteworthy that while genuine products or services may be encountered through these advertisements – they are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, you have likely accessed ratorsa[.]com at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page – thus enabling the ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you stumble upon a suspect webpage – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to questionable websites, it could be due to adware installed on the browser or 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.
