Resourceslatest[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue webpages might vary depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. Therefore, this information may dictate the content encountered on and through such sites.
When we inspected the resourceslatest[.]com page, it ran the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam. It has to be emphasized that this anti-virus interface, system scan, and virus reports are fake. Additionally, it has to be stressed that this content is in no way associated with the actual McAfee Corp. Scams of this kind tend to push fraudulent and dangerous software.
Furthermore, resourceslatest[.]com requests visitors to allow it to display browser notifications. This spam is used to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered notifications/ads promote online scams, unreliable/harmful sites and software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; defendyourfiles[.]com, reserve-availability[.]cfd, serviceworker[.]click - are just a few examples.
These websites deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material. Note that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their developers. Instead, this endorsement is done by scammers who abuse the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did resourceslatest[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can only display browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered resourceslatest[.]com at some point and permitted it to deliver these advertisements (i.e., selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Should you access a suspect website, do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
If a browser is continuously force-opening questionable sites without prompt - that could be caused by 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.
