The behavior of rogue webpages (i.e., what they host/promote) might differ depending on visitors' IP address (geolocation).

At the time of research, bolingor.co[.]in displayed an imitation of a video player overlaid by a checkbox-style CAPTCHA test. Before it could be completed, this pop-up closed itself, and the page displayed instructions to – "Click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot" with an animated arrow pointing to the "Allow" button.

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue websites; lcart[.]shopspeednetworkdevice.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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
