Browser notification spam in general

We have examined thousands of rogue pages; news-vi2world[.]life, yzup[.]xyz, bteuqh[.]click, and hotbmayogu[.]today are just a few of our newest articles. These websites aim to deceive visitors into enabling browser notification delivery. This goal is often achieved by relying on fake CAPTCHA tests, adult-oriented content, and other clickbait.

Spam notifications endorse online scams and dangerous software. While genuine products or services may be encountered through these ads – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who abuse the endorsed content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did theadspoint[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing these adverts from theadspoint[.]top – it is evident that when this page was accessed, consent to their delivery was given by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you happen upon a questionable webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications. In other words, do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options present on such pages. We advise denying notification delivery from suspect sites – i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc. – or ignoring these requests altogether.

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, check the browser and system for installed 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.
