Browser notification spam in general

We have written about countless rogue pages; aeetesnow[.]org, kneadspro[.]com, inaszone[.]com, inaslive[.]com, and inaslab[.]com are just a few of our latest finds. These websites aim to trick users into allowing their browser notification delivery, yet how this goal is achieved can differ (e.g., via fake CAPTCHA tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.).

Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that any genuine products or services encountered through these adverts are most likely promoted by scammers seeking to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.

How did webetes[.]org gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely accessed webetes[.]org at some point and permitted the ad delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspicious sites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny such requests from dubious webpages (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable websites unprompted, 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.
