Hence, if you are seeing these ads from said webpage – it is evident that when webkadsusa[.]com was accessed, permission for their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious sites, it could be caused by 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.
