Browser notification spam in general
We have written about thousands of rogue websites; pushckick[.]click, ondshub[.]com, nxt10[.]net, news-xofapi[.]com, and icekrussoop[.]com are just some examples.
These pages deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive/malicious material. Keep in mind that any genuine content encountered through these adverts is most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did poopsylifort[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Sites require user consent to display browser notifications. Hence, you have likely accessed poopsylifort[.]com at some point and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thereby permitting the ad delivery.
Note that rogue webpages often use fake CAPTCHA verification tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, and other deception to promote their notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
It is important to always be selective when permitting websites to display browsing notifications. Suspicious pages must not be enabled to deliver these advertisements; instead, such requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites without prompt, 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.
