What kind of page is allprotectpc[.]com?

Our research team discovered the allprotectpc[.]com rogue page during a routine investigation of untrustworthy websites. It promotes scams, pushes browser notification spam, and redirects visitors to other (likely unreliable/malicious) sites.

Users typically enter allprotectpc[.]com and similar webpages via redirects caused by pages that use rogue advertising networks.

Allprotectpc[.]com overview

It is pertinent to mention that the content encountered on and through rogue sites can vary depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation).

When we inspected allprotectpc[.]com, it ran the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam, which consists of a fake system scan and threat reports. This deceptive content is presented as the McAfee anti-virus, and it must be emphasized that it is in no way associated with the actual McAfee Corp.

In most cases, this scam model (fake virus warning) is used to promote untrustworthy, fraudulent, and malicious applications. It must also be mentioned that no website is capable of detecting infections or other issues present on visitors' devices - therefore, any that make such claims are scams.

Furthermore, allprotectpc[.]com requested users to allow it to display browser notifications. These ads are used to endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and malware.

To summarize, through pages like allprotectpc[.]com - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Mscmart[.]com, pushyoumail[.]com, service-2022[.]site, fonto[.]club, wukbgater[.]buzz, and basis-antivirus[.]com are merely some examples of the rogue webpages that we have analyzed recently.

This type of site delivers browser notifications that primarily promote deceptive and malicious material. However, while legitimate content can be encountered through these adverts - it is highly unlikely to be endorsed by its developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing a product's affiliate program to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Rogue pages often use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, and other deceptive content to trick visitors into permitting notification delivery.

Hence, if you are receiving such advertisements from allprotectpc[.]com - it means that you have likely visited this webpage and consented by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a questionable webpage, do not enable it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options displayed by such sites. We advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should you experience continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites (e.g., allprotectpc[.]com, etc.), it could be caused by adware installed onto the browser or system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
