Antivirus-stability[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue pages might depend on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information may determine the content encountered on and through these sites.

When we accessed antivirus-stability[.]com, it presented us with the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam. It must be emphasized that no site can detect threats/issues on visitors' devices. Hence, the system scan and threat reports displayed by this scam are fake and in no way associated with the McAfee anti-virus.

Furthermore, antivirus-stability[.]com asks visitors to enable it to display browser notifications. The delivered advertisements endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful webpages and apps, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue websites; securityservice-pc[.]com, scanuralerts[.]com, maincaptcha[.]top, protect-data-2022[.]xyz, and smartopc[.]xyz are merely some examples.

These pages deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these advertisements are unlikely promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did antivirus-stability[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving such adverts from antivirus-stability[.]com, you've likely visited it and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar 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, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspect websites, 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.
