Browser notification spam in general

We have examined thousands of rogue webpages; mergechainsolutions.co[.]in, chainintegration.co[.]in, and loadpremiumapp[.]monster are merely a few of our latest articles.

These sites deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content. While legitimate products or services may be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you have likely visited safecomputercheck[.]com at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

It is noteworthy that rogue sites often rely on various lures (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, explicit adult-oriented content, etc.) to deceive visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

It is imperative to be selective when permitting websites to deliver browser notifications. Dubious pages must not be allowed to display these adverts; instead, notification delivery requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous random redirects to suspicious sites, inspect the browser and 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.
