Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue pages; zxdret[.]click, bectrocks[.]com, dicanduchic[.]com, and cilishardrys[.]com are just a few of our latest articles. Despite their varying appearance, these websites deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive/malicious content.

While legitimate products or services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers motivated to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing the promoted content's affiliate programs.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you have likely visited inasmedia[.]com at some point and enabled the advertisement delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit suspect sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.

If you keep experiencing random unprompted redirects to questionable websites, inspect the browser and system 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.
