Pushnott[.]com in detail

Pushnott[.]com uses a clickbait technique to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button/agreeing to receive notifications.

If allowed, pushnott[.]com shows notifications claiming that a computer is infected (and other deceptive notifications).

A page like pushnott[.]com can be used to promote legitimate software. However, it does not mean that the official software developers have anything to do with that page. It is common that affiliates use such sites to collect illegitimate commissions.
