Browser notification spam in general
Elixirnexus[.]com, resertol.co[.]in, denalimount[.]top, and datingkoe2[.]site are merely some of our latest articles on rogue sites. The purpose of these pages is to deceive visitors into enabling browser notification delivery.
Ads of this kind endorse deceptive and malicious content. Remember that legitimate products/services encountered via these adverts are unlikely to be promoted in this manner by any official parties. It is most likely that this promotion is performed by scammers seeking to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.
How did elydes[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from elydes[.]com – it means that when this page was accessed, permission for their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you stumble upon a questionable webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny these requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
It is pertinent to mention that having adware installed on the browser/system can result in suspicious sites being forced-opened at random. Should you keep experiencing redirects on this kind, inspect the device and immediately remove all dubious 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.
