The behavior of rogue sites (i.e., what they host/promote) may depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we inspected kerbians[.]click, it ran a scam claiming that the visitor's device is at risk due to them having accessed a malicious site.
It must be stressed that no website can detect threats or issues on systems - hence, any that make such claims are scams.

Browser notification spam in general
News-fedaka[.]cc, webpushpull[.]com, dailyprotectioncentr[.]com, and notificationscity[.]com are some examples of the rogue pages we have analyzed recently.
The browser notifications delivered by these sites usually endorse deceptive and malicious content. Any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs employ notification spam to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did kerbians[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely entered kerbians[.]click at some point and enabled it to display these ads (i.e., pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option).
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit suspect websites to display them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on these pages. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites without prompt, 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.
