Pulsenotifynow[.]top overview
The behavior of rogue websites (i.e., what they host/promote) might differ depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. At the time of research, pulsenotifynow[.]top presented us with a fake CAPTCHA test. The page included an image of five cartoonish robots and instructions to – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot".
However, the "Allow" button serves as the consent option to the site's browser notification delivery instead of triggering a visitor verification process. Unlike most rogue webpages that use this lure, pulsenotifynow[.]top included information about browser notifications, which diminishes the bait's success.
Rogue pages use their notifications to run intrusive ad campaigns. These advertisements promote online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general
We have examined numerous rogue pages; excumord[.]com, aecroicited[.]com, avastosgr[.]fun, acishlor[.]com, and pixlessads[.]top are merely some of our latest articles.
These websites deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that any legitimate products/services encountered through said adverts are unlikely to be endorsed by their developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

User permission is necessary for any website to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are receiving these ads from pulsenotifynow[.]top – it is evident that when this page was visited, consent to their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
It is important to be selective when permitting sites to display browser notifications. Do not enable dubious webpages to do so; instead, ignore or deny their requests (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open suspect websites without prompt, it could be due to 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.
