Adposhel adware takes over browser push notifications administration

Adposhel has been noticed to use Chrome policies to ensure that their permissions for web push notifications don’t get removed by the user. The adware family has now decided to fully deploy this tactic, as we are seeing complaints about it emerging on forums, such as Reddit. Users have complained about being unable to remove domains from the list of domains that are allowed to show push notifications, and being. unable to change the setting that control whether websites can ask you to allow notifications. Disabling that setting would stop a user from seeing. prompts like these: If a user were to click Allow on that prompt, this domain would be added to their allowed list of URLs, with the understanding that it could be removed manually.”]
