Browser notification spam in general

News-xofapi[.]com, secochkd[.]xyz, pignmoll[.]com, avirabot[.]online, and odejdi[.]info are just some of our latest articles on rogue pages. They can differ greatly in appearance and utilized lures, but their purpose is the same – to trick visitors into consenting to notification delivery.

Spam browser notifications promote deceptive and malicious content. Remember that any genuine products/services encountered via these ads are most likely endorsed by scammers abusing their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user permission to display browser notifications. Hence, you have likely accessed icekrussoop[.]com at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thus permitting the advertisement delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

It is important to be selective when allowing webpages to deliver browser notifications. Dubious pages must not be permitted to display these ads; instead, such requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing continuous 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.
