Hugeer[.]club overview
How rogue webpages operate (i.e., what they host/endorse) might depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we entered hugeer[.]club, it promoted the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam. It must be stressed that the claims made by this scheme are fake, and this content is in no way associated with McAfee. Scams of this kind are usually used to push untrustworthy and malicious software.
Additionally, hugeer[.]club requests visitors to enable it to display browser notifications. The delivered notifications/advertisements promote online scams, unreliable/harmful websites and software, and even malware.
Therefore, through webpages like hugeer[.]club - users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; news-focedu[.]cc, news-rofahe[.]cc, and advnotlab[.]com are just a couple of examples.
Webpages of this kind deliver browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious material. Note that any genuine products encountered via these adverts are not endorsed by their developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did hugeer[.]club gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Sites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you have likely visited hugeer[.]club and consented to the delivery of these ads (i.e., clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not permit dubious websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar). Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open sites unprompted, it might be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
