Browser notification spam in general

We have written about thousands of rogue pages; anapurnatop[.]top, everestpeak[.]top, and rockytrails[.]top are just a couple of our newest articles. Websites of this kind are designed to deceive users into allowing browser notification delivery.

These advertisements endorse online scams and malicious content.

It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the endorsed contact's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from initiatenewestextremelythe-file[.]top – it is evident that when this page was accessed, consent to the delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit questionable pages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such sites (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, inspect the browser and system for installed advertising-supported software (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.
