Browser notification spam in general

News-nuriga[.]com, mumpings[.]com, myitmads[.]org, basein[.]info, and flisshop[.]club are merely some of our latest articles on rogue pages. These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material.

While legitimate content may be encountered via these advertisements – it is unlikely to be promoted by its developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the endorsed product's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you've likely visited news-wuweyo[.]com at some point and permitted the ad delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

Note that rogue pages commonly employed deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification tests, etc.) to trick users into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit suspect pages to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such sites. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery – i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

In case of continuous random redirects to dubious websites, inspect 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.
