Browser notification spam in general

Coisigne[.]com, cliegacklianons[.]com, bavergenomwer[.]com, and webetes[.]org are merely some of our latest articles on rogue sites. Webpages of this kind vary in appearance, yet their goal is the same – to trick users into consenting to the browser notification delivery.

Spam notifications endorse online scams and unreliable/dangerous content. Note that any genuine products or services encountered through these advertisements are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing these advertisements from cleandiskpc[.]com – it means that when this webpage was accessed, consent to the delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you enter a questionable page – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring notification delivery or denying it (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, inspect the browser and system for installed advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
