Browser notification spam in general

Altitudeedge[.]top, plestawn[.]com, and mctop[.]fun are merely a couple of our newest articles on rogue websites. These pages aim to trick visitors into enabling browser notification delivery.

Advertisements of this kind promote deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via spam notifications – they are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers seeking to obtain illegitimate commissions through the abuse of the promoted content's affiliate programs.

How did newads-point[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to display browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these ads from newads-point[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you happen upon a suspect webpage – do not enable it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously produce redirects to dubious websites, it could be caused by adware installed on it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
