Browser notification spam in general
We have examined thousands of rogue sites; roselinetoday[.]com, enasbest[.]com, iodideslive[.]org, and botscan[.]store are just a few examples. Webpages of this kind deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content.
Keep in mind that while genuine products/services may be encountered through these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this is undertaken by scammers motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the promoted content's affiliate programs.
How did kadscenter[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user consent to display browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing these ads from kadscenter[.]com – it is evident that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable questionable websites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring notification delivery from such pages (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.
Should your browser keep redirecting to suspicious sites without prompt, it could be caused by adware installed on it or the 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.
