What kind of page is estimatorone[.]xyz?

Our researchers discovered the estimatorone[.]xyz rogue page during a routine investigation of untrustworthy websites. This webpage runs scams, promotes browser notification spam, and redirects visitors to different (likely unreliable or malicious) sites.

Usually, webpages like estimatorone[.]xyz are accessed through redirects caused by sites that use rogue advertising networks.

Estimatorone[.]xyz overview

When we entered estimatorone[.]xyz, it promoted the "Your Windows 10 is infected with viruses" scam. However, it is noteworthy that how rogue websites behave (i.e., what they load/endorse) might depend on the visitor's IP address (geolocation).

This scam presents visitors with what is supposed to be the McAfee anti-virus, which performs a system scan and comes up with various threat reports. Additionally, it shows a fake warning in the graphical style of Windows 10.

It must be stressed that this content is fake, and it is in no way associated with either McAfee Corp. or Microsoft Corporation. Typically, scams like "Your Windows 10 is infected with viruses" are used to endorse dubious/malicious software.

Furthermore, estimatorone[.]xyz requests users to allow it to display browser notifications. These notifications/ads promote untrustworthy/harmful sites and software, online scams, and malware.

Therefore, through webpages like estimatorone[.]xyz - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Antivirus-defence[.]com, severalsituations[.]click, antivirus-click[.]com, yoursafeguardshield[.]com, and protectwatch[.]xyz are merely some examples of the rogue websites that we have analyzed recently.

These browser notifications promote deceptive and malicious content. Note that any genuine products promoted through these advertisements are most likely endorsed by scammers abusing their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did estimatorone[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Sites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you have likely entered estimatorone[.]xyz at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.

It is pertinent to mention that rogue pages often use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling notification delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not enable questionable websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously cause redirects to untrustworthy sites without prompt, it could be due to 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.
