Browser notification spam in general

Topewesusa[.]com, shauckaimo[.]com, tentedstars[.]com, poratfit[.]com, and naukagil[.]com are just some of our newest articles on rogue pages. While they may look legitimate, the browser notifications that these websites deliver – promote deceptive and malicious content.

It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

We recommend being selective when permitting sites to deliver browser notifications. Do not allow dubious pages to do so, and instead ignore or deny such requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
