Browser notification spam in general
We have written about thousands of rogue webpages; forenteion[.]com, fondsmoney[.]com, and bnfgnbheavynuo[.]info are merely a couple of our newest articles. Although these pages vary in appearance, their aims are the same – to trick visitors into enabling browser notifications.
Advertisements of this kind endorse deceptive and malicious material. Any genuine products or services encountered via spam notifications are most likely promoted by scammers seeking to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.
How did efgrghhindhimi[.]info gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing these ads from efgrghhindhimi[.]info – it means that when this webpage was visited, permission for their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
It is pertinent to mention that rogue sites commonly use fake CAPTCHA verification tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, and other lures to entice visitors into enabling notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you stumble upon a dubious webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such sites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In the 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.
