Stally[.]click overview
The content encountered on and through rogue webpages may vary. It can be determined by the visitor's IP address (geolocation). When we inspected stally[.]click, it promoted the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam.
While this content is presented as the McAfee anti-virus - it is merely a disguise, and the actual McAfee Corp. is not associated with this scam. Hence, the anti-virus interface, system scan and its results - are fake. In most cases, this scam model (fake virus/threat alert) is used to endorse untrustworthy, fraudulent, or malicious applications.
Additionally, stally[.]click requested visitors to allow it to deliver browser notifications. These advertisements push online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and even malware.
To summarize, via sites like stally[.]click - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
Wnprt[.]club, analysissoftwarecentr[.]com, ourhugenews[.]com, and sopuw[.]clickare merely some examples of the rogue websites that we have analyzed recently.
These pages display notifications promoting scams and malicious content. It has to be mentioned that any legitimate products encountered through these ads are unlikely to be endorsed by their actual developers. Instead, scammers who seek to acquire commissions fraudulently abuse the products' affiliate programs and employ this deceptive endorsement tactic.
How did stally[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you have likely visited stally[.]click and consented to the delivery of these adverts by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this page.
Note that rogue pages often use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, or other deception to lure/scare visitors into enabling notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you enter a suspicious website, do not permit it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options displayed on such sites. Instead, we advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser randomly cause unprompted redirects to dubious sites, it could be due to adware installed onto it or the 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.
