Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated thousands rogue pages; appcloud-center[.]com, withbtrads[.]top, and laiphuphegrohu[.]com are merely a few of our latest finds. These webpages deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious content.

While legitimate products or services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted in this fashion by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the endorsed content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did gonor[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely entered gonor[.]xyz at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thereby permitting the advertisement delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you happen upon a dubious page – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such websites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspect sites, 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.
