Browser notification spam in general
We have written about thousands of rogue pages; updates-macos[.]com, cleandiskpc[.]com, coisigne[.]com, and cliegacklianons[.]com are just some of our latest articles. While these websites differ in appearance, their goal is the same – to entice/scare visitors into enabling browser notification delivery.
Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious content. Note that any genuine products/services encountered through these advertisements are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did hunforandiogs[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user permission. Therefore, you have likely accessed hunforandiogs[.]com at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thereby enabling the advertisement delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
It is important to always be selective when permitting websites to display browser notifications. Dubious webpages must not be enabled to deliver these ads; instead, notification requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
It is noteworthy that having adware installed on the browser or system can result in continuous unprompted redirects to unreliable and questionable sites. Should you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, check the device and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
