Service-2022[.]site overview

The content encountered on and via rogue webpages may be determined by the visitor's IP address (geolocation). When we accessed service-2022[.]site, it ran the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam.

This content - the anti-virus interface, system scan, and threats reports - all of it is fake. Furthermore, this scam is not associated with the actual McAfee. Typically, this deception is used to push fraudulent and malicious software.

Browser notification spam in general

Steady-protection[.]com, webdatasecuritycenter[.]com, browse-defense[.]com, and cousonelly[.]com are merely some examples of rogue webpages that we have analyzed recently.

These sites deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive/malicious material. While genuine content can be encountered through these advertisements - it is endorsed by scammers abusing its affiliate programs to obtain commissions fraudulently.

How did service-2022[.]site gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you have likely entered service-2022[.]site and permitted it to display these advertisements (i.e., clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a suspicious website, do not enable it to deliver these ads (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

And should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites 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.
