Browser notification spam in general

These sites deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that any genuine content encountered via ads of this kind is most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user consent to display browser notifications. Hence, you have likely accessed bigsupersweepstakes[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thereby permitting the page to display these advertisements.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

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

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious 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.
