Browser notification spam in general

We have written about numerous rogue websites; chernars[.]com, aboutlottads[.]top, pbmsoultions[.]com – are just a couple of our latest articles. These pages are designed to deceive visitors into enabling browser notification delivery. This purpose is usually achieved by relying on various lures, such as fake CAPTCHA tests, adult-oriented content, clickbait, etc.

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 any official parties. This promotion is most likely performed by scammers motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.

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

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user permission. Hence, if you are seeing these advertisements from taffetlervers[.]com – it is evident that when this webpage was accessed, consent for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable dubious pages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such sites (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.

In case of continuous random redirects to suspect websites, inspect 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.
