Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated countless rogue pages; news-varaga[.]com, news-tiresa[.]cc, networkchains-co[.]in, and news-mevedo[.]com are merely some of our latest articles. Despite their varying and potentially legitimate appearance, these webpages deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.
Keep in mind that any genuine products or services encountered via these advertisements are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did dominness.co[.]in gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Sites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these adverts from dominness.co[.]in – it means that when this webpage was accessed, permission for their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you stumble upon a dubious webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend caution when allowing notification delivery; do not enable suspicious pages to do so, and instead ignore or deny such requests (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, it could be caused by 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.
