Browser notification spam in general

Checknicepage[.]com, chauboansurvey[.]top, and jointnetworkdevice.co[.]in are but a few of our latest articles on rogue pages. While these sites differ in appearance, their purpose is the same – to trick users into enabling browser notifications.

These advertisements promote deceptive and malicious material. Remember that any genuine content encountered through spam notifications is most likely endorsed by scammers abusing its affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did celeb-scandals-revealed[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

You have likely accessed celeb-scandals-revealed[.]com at some point and permitted the notification delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option. Keep in mind that no website can display these ads without user consent.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

It is important to be selective when permitting sites to display browser notifications. Suspicious webpages must not be allowed to deliver said adverts; instead, these requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

It is pertinent to mention that having adware installed on the browser/system can result in dubious pages being force-opened at random. Should you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, check the device and immediately remove all suspect 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.
