To start, here are the notifications you sent me:ДЄs you can see, these are all from a site called вЂњвЂќ which doesnвЂ™t come up as a valid Web page. Then again, when I look at my own notifications, there are a couple of domains I donвЂ™t recognize (weвЂ™ll get back to that) so perhaps there are ways that these sites can insinuate themselves onto the list! However that transpired, Google Chrome is set up so that you have to grant permission for Notifications. Heck, it might have carefully вЂ“ or sneakily вЂ“ phrased it so that you thought it was something really helpful and useful like вЂњGet updates on your favorite new movies and celebrity news: Click OKвЂќ In fact, you probably clicked вЂњOKвЂќ when it asked if it could send you notifications without realizing thatвЂ™s what you were approving.

Really pretty frustrating, but the good news is that itвЂ™s not a virus or malware in the sense of most computer malware infections.

In the endless Cold War of spammers versus the rest of the online world, thereвЂ™s always another avenue to exploit.
