Browser notification spam in general

We have examined thousands of rogue pages; checkouroffer[.]com, celebbuzzingfunny[.]top, deszubaton[.]com, and doukoula[.]com are merely some of our latest articles. These websites aim to deceive visitors into allowing browser notification delivery.

Spam notifications promote deceptive/malicious content. While genuine products/services may be encountered through these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by their actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

If you are receiving notifications (advertisements) from broidfit[.]com – it is evident that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option. Remember that no website can deliver these ads without user consent.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

We recommend being selective when permitting sites to display browser notifications. Do not enable dubious webpages to deliver these adverts; instead, ignore or deny such requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, check the browser and 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.
