Superiorprotectionpc[.]com overview
The content encountered on and via rogue sites can vary depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). Superiorprotectionpc[.]com promoted the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam during our inspection.
It must be emphasized that this content is fake (i.e., anti-virus interface, system scan, threat reports, etc.), and it is in no way associated with McAfee. Scams of this type usually endorse fraudulent and malicious software.
Additionally, superiorprotectionpc[.]com requests visitors to allow it to deliver browser notifications. Rogue webpages use them to run intrusive ad campaigns. The displayed adverts promote unreliable/hazardous pages and software, online scams, and even malware.
Therefore, through superiorprotectionpc[.]com and websites akin to it - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
Webnotificationsgroup[.]com, videoplay-on[.]com, situationalawareness[.]sbs, and hexaput0n[.]click are merely some examples of the rogue webpages that we have analyzed.
These sites display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed by their developers. This endorsement is typically undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did superiorprotectionpc[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites require user consent to display browser notifications. Therefore, you've likely entered superiorprotectionpc[.]com at some point and permitted it to deliver these advertisements. In other words, selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
If your browser is continuously force-opening suspicious websites, it might be due to adware installed onto it or the system. And if your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
