Browser notification spam in general

Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive/malicious content. Keep in mind that any genuine products or services encountered through these advertisements are most likely endorsed by scammers seeking to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing affiliate programs.

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

Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, you have likely entered moadworld[.]com at some point and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thereby permitting this page to display said adverts.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you happen upon a suspicious page – do not permit it to display browser notifications. Instead, ignore these requests or deny them (i.e., by pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect websites unprompted, it could be due to the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
