Browser notification spam in general

We have written about countless rogue sites; news-nuriga[.]com, mykneads24[.]com, mumpings[.]com, and mnadsnetwork[.]com are merely some examples. Rogue webpages are designed to push browser notification spam, yet the lures they utilize to trick visitors can differ greatly – ranging from fake CAPTCHA tests to clickbait.

Spam notifications promote deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that any genuine products/services encountered through these advertisements are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did news-wurinu[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

User consent is necessary for any website to display browser notifications, and news-wurinu[.]com is no exception. Hence, if you are seeing these ads from said webpage – it means that when news-wurinu[.]com was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

It is important to always be selective when permitting websites to deliver browser notifications. Dubious webpages must not be allowed to display these adverts; instead, notification delivery requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, check the browser and system for installed 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.
