How to stop wnprt.club from showing notifications

What kind of page is wnprt[.]club?

While inspecting wnprt[.]club, our team learned that it has two purposes: to trick visitors into believing that their computers are infected (and purchasing antivirus software) and allowing it to show notifications. It runs the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam.

We discovered wnprt[.]club while examining pages that use rogue advertising networks (open shady pages and display deceptive ads).

Wnprt[.]club in detail

After running a fake system scan, wnprt[.]club displays a couple of fake warnings in pop-up windows claiming that a computer is infected with viruses and other malicious applications. Those warnings urge visitors to remove viruses and repair system damage to avoid further problems. One of them has the "Renew License" button on it.

Clicking the "Renew License" button opens an affiliate link, an official McAfee virus website with an affiliate's ID in the URL. Wnprt[.]club is operated by affiliates who attempt to earn commissions from purchased made via their affiliate link. The McAfee company (a legitimate computer security company) has nothing to do with wnprt[.]club.

Moreover, wnprt[.]club asks for permission to show notifications. Its notifications can be designed to open other untrustworthy websites (e.g., technical support scam sites, phishing pages, websites promoting potentially malicious apps). Some of those pages can be malicious.
