Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What kind of page is dailyprotectioncentr[.]com?
Dailyprotectioncentr[.]com is a rogue webpage our research team discovered while inspecting untrustworthy sites. This page promotes deceptive content (scams), pushes browser notification spam, and redirects visitors to other (likely unreliable or malicious) webpages.
It is noteworthy that websites like dailyprotectioncentr[.]com are seldom accessed intentionally. Most users enter them through redirects caused by pages using rogue advertising networks.
Dailyprotectioncentr[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue websites can depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. Hence, what can be encountered on or through them - may vary.
During our inspection of dailyprotectioncentr[.]com, we found that it promotes two scams - variants of "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" and "TROJAN Zeus2021 spyware adware detected" (except that this site's version was presented as an alert from Norton anti-virus as opposed to Microsoft Windows).
It must be stressed that no webpage can detect threats/issues present on a visitor's device. Therefore, not only are all the claims made by dailyprotectioncentr[.]com fake, but they are also in no way associated with either McAfee or Norton.
Scams of this kind usually promote fake anti-viruses, adware, browser hijackers, and various PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).
Furthermore, dailyprotectioncentr[.]com asks visitors to consent to its browser notifications. If allowed, the website will deliver dubious notifications/ads that endorse scams, untrustworthy/harmful pages and software, and even malware.
In summary, through sites like dailyprotectioncentr[.]com, users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
Freeadvworld[.]com, onlineshield[.]info, window-save[.]com, and womenlifewellness[.]com are merely some examples of rogue websites that we have recently inspected.
The browser notifications displayed by them - primarily push deceptive and malicious content. Any endorsement of genuine products through these ads - is unlikely to be undertaken or approved by their actual developers. In this case, notification spam is used by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did dailyprotectioncentr[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
You have likely visited dailyprotectioncentr[.]com and permitted it to deliver browser notifications, as websites cannot do so without user consent. It is pertinent to mention that many rogue pages employ deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to lure visitors into allowing notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, we advise against permitting suspicious sites to display them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options). Instead, ignore or deny these requests - click "Block", "Block Notifications", or an analogous option.
If your browser is continuously force-opening questionable pages, it might 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.
