Law-antivirus[.]com overview
The content encountered via rogue webpages can vary depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). When we inspected law-antivirus[.]com, it ran the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam. It compromises an anti-virus interface, system scan, and threat reports - supposedly belonging to the McAfee anti-virus.
It must be stressed that this content and its claims are fake, and it is in no way associated with the actual McAfee Corp. In most cases, scams of this kind endorse untrustworthy or malicious software.
Additionally, law-antivirus[.]com requested the notification delivery to be enabled. If allowed, this site will display browser notifications advertising online scams, unreliable/harmful sites and applications, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; defenderfordevice[.]com, adslivetraining[.]com, ourhotposts[.]com, champse[.]click, defenderpage[.]xyz - are merely some examples.
These sites deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content. Note that any genuine products encountered through these advertisements are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to acquire commissions fraudulently.
How did law-antivirus[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you've likely visited law-antivirus[.]com and consented to the delivery of these ads by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not enable questionable sites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites without prompt, 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.
