Systemsecuritys[.]com overview
What users encounter on and through rogue webpages - may be determined by their IP addresses/ geolocations. During our inspection, systemsecuritys[.]com ran the "Your Windows 10 is infected with viruses" scam.
It must be emphasized that both the Microsoft Corporation and McAfee Corp. are in no way associated with this scam. Their names, logos, and other graphical design elements are used by scammers to create an impression of legitimacy. Scams of this kind usually endorse untrustworthy and malicious applications. More information on this scam can be found in our article on it.
Furthermore, systemsecuritys[.]com requests visitors to enable it to deliver browser notifications. The delivered notifications/ads promote unreliable/harmful software, online scams, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general
Save-window[.]com, zoutubephaid[.]com, datasecuritycentr[.]com, and express-new[.]com are just some examples of the rogue pages we have analyzed.
The browser notifications displayed by these websites - typically push deceptive and malicious content. It is highly unlikely that any legitimate products encountered via these ads are endorsed in this manner by their developers. Notification spam is primarily employed by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did systemsecuritys[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you have likely entered systemsecuritys[.]com at some point and allowed it to do so. It is noteworthy that rogue webpages often use deception (e.g., scare tactics, clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling the notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
We advise against permitting suspicious websites to deliver browser notifications; in other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options presented by such pages. Instead, ignore notification delivery requests or deny them by pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.
If a browser is continuously force-opening questionable sites unprompted - it might be due to adware installed into 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.
