Yourdatasecurityservice[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue webpages can depend on the visiting user's IP address/ geolocation. Therefore, what visitors encounter on and through sites like yourdatasecurityservice[.]com - can vary. When we accessed this site, it presented us with the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam.

This deceptive content is in no way associated with the actual McAfee Corp. or its products.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; totaldatadefence[.]com, check-the-weather[.]com, news-govuhu[.]cc, and allprofitsurvey[.]top are just some examples of those we have analyzed.

The browser notifications displayed by these sites typically endorse dubious and malicious material. Any legitimate content encountered via these adverts is unlikely to be promoted by its developers/creators. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did yourdatasecurityservice[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Browser notifications can only be delivered with user permission. Therefore, you have likely visited yourdatasecurityservice[.]com and consented to receive these advertisements (i.e., clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit suspicious sites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options). We advise ignoring notification delivery requests or denying them (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable websites unprompted, it could be due to adware installed onto it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
