Browser notification spam in general

We have written about numerous rogue sites; broidfit[.]com, checkouroffer[.]com, and celebbuzzingfunny[.]top are but a couple of examples. Despite their differing appearance, the purpose of these webpages is the same – to deceive users into enabling browser notification delivery.

Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious content. While genuine products or services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers seeking to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you've likely accessed elixirnexus[.]com at some point and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thereby permitting the ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit dubious pages to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

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