Sites associated with rogue advertising networks (e.g., torrent sites, adult pages, illegal movie streaming websites) can also direct users to pages like yourfreshjournal[.]com.

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

When a page wants to send notifications, a browser gives options like "Allow" or "Block". If users choose "Allow", they allow the site to display notifications. Consequently, yourfreshjournal[.]com is able to send notifications because you have agreed to receive them.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

When a dubious website wants to show notifications, select "Block", "Deny", or a similar option. Note that reputable websites never claim that visitors must click "Allow" to pass CAPTCHAs, access content, download files, watch videos, etc. If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
