Browser notification spam in general
We have written about numerous rogue pages that push browser notifications; eadderea[.]com, peeradsfeed[.]top, and copigagmixess[.]com are just a couple of our newest articles.
Their browser notifications endorse deceptive and malicious material. Remember that any genuine content encountered through such advertisements is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did found-cash-now[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user consent to display browser notifications. Therefore, if you are seeing these adverts from found-cash-now[.]com – it means that when this webpage was entered, permission was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable or deceptive browser notifications – do not enable questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery from suspect pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
It is worth mentioning that having adware installed on the device may result in dubious websites being forced-open without prompt. Should you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, check the device and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
