Browser notification spam in general

We have written about thousands of rogue webpages; news-penifi[.]com, enhancedefense[.]com, and opdomain22[.]online are but a couple of our latest articles. The purpose of these pages is to deceive visitors into enabling browser notification delivery. Various lures (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.) are used to trick users into consenting.

Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that any genuine content encountered via these advertisements is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did rwrdznga[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely accessed rwrdznga[.]com at some point and enabled the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option displayed on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit questionable pages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests in their entirety.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, it could be caused by adware installed on the browser or 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.
