Browser notification spam in general

We have written about thousands of rogue pages; purophandism[.]com, vernurinvish[.]com, and safeguardforbrowser[.]com are merely a couple of our latest articles. The purpose of these websites is to deceive users into receiving browser notifications, yet how they achieve this goal can differ drastically.

Spam notifications promote deceptive and malicious material. While legitimate products or services may be encountered via these ads – 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 abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing these advertisements from lionopal[.]com – it means that when this page was accessed, permission for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit questionable webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites, 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.
