Browser notification spam in general

Bectrocks[.]comudesmail[.]comwpboostbuddy[.]comromancerocket[.]clickyournetti[.]com, and zxdret[.]click are just some of our newest articles on rogue webpages.

Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that any genuine products/services encountered through these ads are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

User permission is necessary for any site to display browser notifications. Hence, if you are receiving these adverts from guenagial[.]com – it is evident that when this page was accessed, consent for their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

Rogue websites often use fake CAPTCHA tests, clickbait, or other deceptive content to lure visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you stumble upon a suspicious webpage – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, check the device 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
