Browser notification spam in general

Fastinlinedevice.co[.]in, theasitive[.]com, and networkfastsync[.]com are just a couple of our newest articles on rogue webpages. These sites aim to deceive visitors into permitting browser notification delivery. However, their appearance and how they achieve their goal can differ drastically.

Spam notifications commonly promote deceptive and malicious material. It is pertinent to mention that while legitimate products/services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who are motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the promoted content's affiliate programs.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, if you are seeing these advertisements from webcetsblog[.]com – you have likely accessed this page at some point and permitted their delivery by selecting "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 websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such sites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect webpages without prompt, it could be caused by adware installed 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.
