Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; ratorsa[.]com, nwsbstwrld[.]com, nexaapptwp[.]top, retrioni[.]net, and nexaapptwp[.]com are merely some of our newest articles. Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.

Said adverts can endorse legitimate products or services, but this is unlikely to be undertaken by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did news-tekica[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely entered news-tekica[.]com at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thereby permitting the page to display these advertisements.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit questionable sites to deliver them. We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block"m "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious webpages 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.
