Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated numerous rogue sites; ourcommonnewz[.]com, news-yanuhi[.]com, and nowtopsite[.]site are merely a couple of our latest articles. These webpages aim to trick visitors into allowing browser notifications, and they utilize various lures for this purpose (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA tests, adult-oriented content, etc.).

Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious material. Remember that any genuine content encountered through these adverts is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

User permission is necessary for any website (including ourhypespot[.]com) to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing these ads from ourhypespot[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, consent to their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you happen upon a suspect page – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such websites (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious sites, 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.
