Browser notification spam in general

We have examined thousands of rogue websites; news-tiresa[.]cc, networkchains-co[.]in, and news-mevedo[.]com are just a couple of our latest articles. Sites of this kind display browser notifications that endorse deceptive and dangerous content.

Keep in mind that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are unlikely to be promoted by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the endorsed content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you've likely entered the news-varaga[.]com page at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus permitting the ad delivery.

It is pertinent to mention that rogue sites commonly use deception (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.) to deceive visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit dubious webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring notification delivery from such pages or denying it (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing random unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, it could be due to adware installed on the browser or system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
