Removing notifications/adverts displayed by the pohsoneche.info website

What kind of page is pohsoneche[.]info?

While inspecting a Torrent website that uses rogue advertising networks, our researchers discovered the pohsoneche[.]info page. It promotes browser notification spam and redirects users to other (likely unreliable/harmful) sites.

Most visitors access pohsoneche[.]info and similar webpages via redirects caused by websites that employ rogue ad networks. However, these pages may also be entered through spam notifications, intrusive adverts, mistyped URLs, and adware.

Pohsoneche[.]info overview

The behavior of rogue pages (i.e., what they host/endorse) might differ based on visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. When we examined pohsoneche[.]info, it stated – "PREPARE TO DOWNLOAD! You need to enable browser notifications to start downloading./ ENABLE AND DOWNLOAD", and a pop-up on the page instructed to – "CLICK ALLOW TO CLOSE THIS PAGE".

This is a bogus download process, and the lure may be particularly convincing if a user is redirected to pohsoneche[.]info by a website offering downloadable content (as we were by a Torrenting site).

If a visitor presses the "Allow" button – they permit pohsoneche[.]info to deliver browser notifications. Rogue webpages use them to run intrusive ad campaigns. These adverts may promote various scams, untrustworthy/dangerous software, and even malware.

In summary, through sites like pohsoneche[.]info – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Snadsnews[.]com, snadsfit[.]com, free-tl, and peritosusa[.]top are just some of our newest articles on rogue websites. Pages of this kind aim to trick visitors into enabling browser notification delivery.

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

How did pohsoneche[.]info gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Hence, you've likely visited pohsoneche[.]info at some point and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thereby permitting the webpage to display these adverts.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable dubious websites to deliver them. In other words, do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options on such pages. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect sites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
