Browser notification spam in general

We have examined numerous rogue webpages; targetads-hub[.]top, pulsenotifynow[.]top, lovdomnotiallus[.]top, and excumord[.]com are merely a couple of our latest articles.

These sites display browser notifications promoting online scams and malicious content. Genuine products or services may be encountered via ads of this kind, but they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did rokinat.co[.]in gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user consent to display browser notifications (adverts). Therefore, you have likely entered rokinat.co[.]in and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.

Rogue sites often use deception (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.) to trick users into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

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

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, inspect the 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.
