Browser notification spam in general
News-henuma[.]com, newsfeedmail[.]club, n2major[.]com, moadworld[.]com, biadstech[.]com, and moadsstar[.]com are merely some of our latest articles on rogue pages.
These websites display browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious content. Note that the promotion of any legitimate products or services via these adverts is most likely undertaken by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did news-mevedo[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
All websites, whether they are rogue, compromised, or malicious – still require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are receiving these advertisements from news-mevedo[.]com – it means that when this webpage was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit dubious pages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, inspect the browser and system for installed advertising-supported software (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.
