What kind of page is keepsafetycore[.]com?

Keepsafetycore[.]com is a rogue website that promotes scams and spam browser notifications. This page can also redirect users to other (likely untrustworthy/malicious) sites.

Our researchers discovered keepsafetycore[.]com while inspecting pages that employ rogue advertising networks. It is noteworthy that most users enter keepsafetycore[.]com and similar webpages through redirects generated by such sites.

Keepsafetycore[.]com overview

It is pertinent to mention that the behavior of rogue pages may be dictated by the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information might determine the content encountered on and through these websites.

When we inspected keepsafetycore[.]com, it ran the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam. The anti-virus interface, system scan, and threat reports displayed by this scam - are all fake. Additionally, this deceptive content is in no way associated with the actual McAfee anti-virus or McAfee Corp. Most schemes of this kind endorse unreliable and harmful software.

Furthermore, keepsafetycore[.]com requests users to allow it to deliver browser notifications. Rogue sites employ them to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. These notifications/ads promote online scams, dubious/dangerous webpages and software, and even malware.

Therefore, through websites like keepsafetycore[.]com - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue pages; ukindwouldm[.]xyz, lpnotworld[.]com, rewardusacenter[.]com - are merely a couple of examples.

These sites display browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these advertisements are most likely to be promoted by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you have likely visited keepsafetycore[.]com and permed it to deliver these adverts by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you enter a suspicious webpage, do not enable it to deliver browser notifications, i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options. Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification delivery, i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

And if your browser continuously force-opens questionable websites (e.g., keepsafetycore[.]com, etc.) without prompt, it could 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.
