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

Websites cannot show notifications without permission. This permission is granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented by a web browser while on a page that wants to send notifications. Thus, notifications from donthiter[.]com are appearing because you have granted this site permission to display them.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

When a questionable website tries to make you agree to receive notifications, choose "Block", "Deny", or an equivalent option. Trusted websites never ask you to click "Allow" to bypass CAPTCHAs, view content, download files, watch videos, or perform other actions. If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
