Browser notification spam in general

We have written about thousands of rogue sites; news-tekica[.]com, ratorsa[.]com, and nwsbstwrld[.]com are just a couple of our latest articles. These webpages aim to trick visitors into allowing browser notification delivery, yet how they achieve this purpose – can differ greatly.

As previously mentioned, these ads endorse deceptive and malicious material. While legitimate content may be encountered via spam notifications – it is unlikely to be promoted by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.

Permission is necessary for websites to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing these adverts from realstkozirads[.]com – it is evident that when this page was accessed, consent to the notification delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

It is noteworthy that adware may be capable of force-opening dubious websites without prompt; hence, if you are experiencing such redirects – check your browser/system for suspicious software. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
