Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated countless rogue websites; pirophackeric[.]com, phougets[.]com, tetradsgroup[.]com, and cubmotodic[.]com are merely some of our newest articles. Pages of this kind deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive and malicious material.
While legitimate content may be encountered through these advertisements – they are unlikely to be promoted in this fashion by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers aiming to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.
How did totalalltimebestdefender[.]info gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from totalalltimebestdefender[.]info – it is evident that when this webpage was accessed, permission for their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you happen upon a dubious page – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on these sites. We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such pages – i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.
It is noteworthy that having adware installed on the browser or system can result in questionable websites being force-opened at random. Hence, if you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, inspect the device and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
