These pages may appear legitimate and use convincing bait to trick users into enabling browser notification delivery. Said ads promote deceptive and malicious content.

While genuine products or services may be encountered through them – this content is unlikely to be promoted by its actual developers. The endorsement is most likely undertaken by scammers seeking to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing affiliate programs.

How did news-jikunu[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user consent to display browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely entered the news-jikunu[.]com page at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thereby permitting the advertisement delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you stumble upon a suspicious webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications. Instead, ignore or deny its notification requests (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, 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.
