Browser notification spam in general
We have inspected thousands of rogue websites; lcart[.]shop, speednetworkdevice.co[.]in, and bizlottads[.]top are merely a couple of our newest articles. These sites aim to trick visitors into enabling browser notification delivery.
Spam notifications promote online scams and malicious content. Keep in mind that genuine products or services encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed by any official parties. This endorsement is most likely performed by scammers seeking to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the promoted content's affiliate programs.
How did bolingor.co[.]in gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user consent to display browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing these advertisements from bolingor.co[.]in – it means that when this page was accessed, permission for their delivery was given by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit questionable webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In case of continuous random redirects to suspicious sites, 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.
