Browser notification spam in general

Toneincludes[.]com, unadsglobal[.]com, sundermima[.]com, and ratenowpage[.]site are just a few of our newest articles on rogue webpages. These sites trick visitors into permitting browser notification delivery, yet the lures used for this purpose can differ significantly (e.g., fake CAPTCHA tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.).

Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious material. It is noteworthy that any genuine product or services encountered via these advertisements are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing these adverts from masented[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit dubious webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, inspect the browser and system for installed advertising-supported software (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.
