What kind of page is securedevicesolutions[.]com?

Securedevicesolutions[.]com is a rogue webpage that our researchers discovered while inspecting untrustworthy sites. It is designed to promote deceptive material, push browser notification spam, and cause redirects to other (likely questionable/malicious) pages.

Most users enter websites like securedevicesolutions[.]com via redirects caused by webpages using rogue advertising networks.

Securedevicesolutions[.]com overview

The content encountered on and through rogue webpages can vary depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we inspected securedevicesolutions[.]com, it presented us with a scam. While the statements made by it are not false in and of themselves - this software promotion is considered deceptive.

Typically, scams of this kind endorse fake anti-viruses, adware, browser hijackers, and other harmful software. However, at the time of research, securedevicesolutions[.]com did redirect to the official Norton anti-virus website - but this may no longer be the case at a later date.

It must be emphasized that this scam is not associated with the actual Norton anti-virus or NortonLifeLock Inc. This misleading promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing Norton's affiliate program in order to obtain illegitimate commissions. Hence, we strongly advise always downloading and purchasing software only from official and verified sources.

Additionally, securedevicesolutions[.]com requests visitors to allow it to deliver browser notifications. Rogue sites use notifications to run intrusive ad campaigns. The delivered notifications/adverts promote online scams, unreliable/dangerous websites and apps, and even malware. Therefore, through rogue pages - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Robustwebsecurity[.]com, defenderlab[.]xyz, and shoksips[.]com are merely a couple examples of the rogue pages that we have inspected.

These websites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered via these advertisements are most likely promoted by scammers abusing their affiliate programs.

How did securedevicesolutions[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you've likely accessed securedevicesolutions[.]com and permitted it to deliver these adverts by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not enable suspicious websites to deliver them (i.e., click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites, 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.
