Similar websites in general

Users often land on these sites when browsing torrent sites, pages offering illegal streaming services, or other platforms that operate using dubious advertising networks. Also, users can unintentionally access them via misleading advertisements, pop-ups, links in deceptive emails, or ads pushed by adware.

These sites are rarely visited directly by users. Once these pages obtain permission to show notifications, they use it to promote dubious content. Examples of other sites using similar tactics include yourprizehouse[.]com, wanttowinbig[.]com, and polvfbks[.]info.

How did xerzxxx[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need explicit permission from users to send notifications. When you visit a site, your browser will ask if you would like to allow or block notifications from that site. If you click "Allow", you agree to get notifications. Thus, xerzxxx[.]xyz can send notifications because it has been allowed to send them.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If an unreliable website asks you to click "Allow" to confirm you are not a robot, play a video, or for any other similar reason, choose "Block", "Deny", "Block Notifications", or the equivalent option in your browser. It is also important to close the site and avoid returning to it in the future.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
