How to stop turnon-yourprotect.site from displaying notifications

What kind of page is turnon-yourprotect[.]site?

While examining the turnon-yourprotect[.]site page, we found that it runs the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam and asks for permission to show untrustworthy notifications. We discovered this page during inspection of other shady pages that use rogue advertising networks.

Turnon-yourprotect[.]site in detail

Turnon-yourprotect[.]site runs a fake system scan that supposedly detects five viruses on a computer (it shows a fake detections list after "scanning" a computer). It also claims that the McAfee subscription has expired and instructs to renew the subscription to keep a computer protected.

Turnon-yourprotect[.]site promotes McAfee Total Protection - a legitimate software product developed by the McAfee company. This company has nothing to do with turnon-yourprotect[.]site. Individuals behind this page participate in an affiliate program to collect illegitimate commissions from purchases made through their page.

Additionally, turnon-yourprotect[.]site asks for permission to show notifications. Usually, pages of this type display notifications promoting various scams, dubious apps, and other pages. Most of those notifications are deceptive (e.g., disguised as security warnings). Thus, turnon-yourprotect[.]site and similar pages should never be allowed to display notifications.
