Browser notification spam in general

We have written about thousands of rogue webpages; loopdeviceconnection.co[.]in, iodides[.]org, upfurretan[.]com, and mycfrstudio[.]club are just some of our latest articles.

Sites of this kind deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material. Note that any genuine content encountered through these ads is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. If you are seeing these adverts from allcottablog[.]com – it means that when this site was entered, permission for their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

Typically, rogue pages deceive visitors into allowing this ad delivery by relying on fake CAPTCHA verification tests, clickbait, explicit adult-oriented content, and so forth.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit suspect pages to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from suspicious sites (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

It is noteworthy that having adware installed on the browser or system may be the culprit behind continuous unprompted redirects to questionable webpages. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
