Spam notifications promote deceptive and malicious content. Legitimate products or services might be encountered via these advertisements, but they are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the conten's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely accessed abovenetwork.co[.]in at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thereby permitting the page to display these ads.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable dubious websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open suspect sites without prompt, it could be due to 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.
