Browser notification spam in general

We have examined numerous rogue websites; safetoworkwith[.]com, newspulse360[.]site, and consmertestconnect[.]com are merely a couple of our newest articles. These pages deliver browser notifications that promote online scams and malicious content.

Ads of this type may endorse legitimate products or services, but this is unlikely to be associated with their developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did groomee[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

User consent is required for any website to deliver browser notifications. Hence, you've likely accessed groomee[.]click at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspicious webpages to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such pages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

It is noteworthy that random unprompted redirects to dubious sites may be caused by adware installed on the browser or system. Should you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, check the device and immediately remove all suspect 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.
