Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated countless rogue websites; totalalltimebestdefender[.]info, re-captha-version, and news-xhovico[.]cc are just a couple of our latest finds. The purpose of these pages is to deceive users into enabling browser notification delivery, yet how they achieve this goal can differ greatly. Many use lures to this end, such as clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification tests, adult-oriented content, and so on.

Spam notifications endorse online scams and malicious content. While legitimate products or services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the endorsed content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did videov-click[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing these ads from videov-click[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable questionable pages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such sites (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites without prompt, it could be due to adware installed on it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
