Browser notification spam in general
Phipsougri[.]com, andespeaks[.]top, and asraichuer[.]com are just a couple of our latest articles on rogue pages. Despite their varying appearance, their purpose is the same – to deceive users into permitting browser notification delivery.
Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that any genuine content encountered via these adverts is most likely promoted by scammers seeking to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing its affiliate programs.
How did allsidestv[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user permission to display browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing these ads from allsidestv[.]com – it means that when this page was accessed, consent to their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
It is noteworthy that rogue sites commonly use various lures (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification tests, adult-oriented content, etc.) to trick users into enabling notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
We recommend always being selective when permitting websites to display browser notifications. Dubious pages must not be allowed to deliver these advertisements; instead, such requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In case of continuous encounters with incessant unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, check the browser or system for installed 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.
