Browser notification spam in general

We have written about countless rogue pages; chauboansurvey[.]top, jointnetworkdevice.co[.]in, and darioleweb[.]com are merely a couple of our newest articles.

These websites deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content. Note that any genuine products/services encountered via these adverts are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user permission. Hence, you've likely accessed checknicepage[.]com at some point and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thereby permitting the advertisement delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you stumble upon a questionable webpage – do not enable it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.

In case of continuous random redirects to suspicious sites, 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.
