Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is suldo[.]click?
While inspecting suspicious websites, our research team discovered the suldo[.]click rogue page. Sites of this kind are designed to promote deceptive material, push browser notification spam, and redirect visitors to other (likely unreliable/malicious) pages.
When we investigated suldo[.]click, it ran the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam. Most users access sites of this kind - via redirects caused by webpages that employ rogue advertising networks.
Suldo[.]click overview
The content encountered on/through rogue websites may vary; it can be determined by the visitor's IP address (geolocation). At the time of research, suldo[.]click promoted the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam. It comprises a fake anti-virus interface, system scan, and threat reports - supposedly displayed by McAfee.
However, it must be stressed that this scam is in no way associated with either the McAfee anti-virus or McAfee Corp. Furthermore, no site can detect threats or issues on visitors' devices - hence, any that make such claims are scams. In most cases, this model (fake virus alert) is used to endorse untrustworthy, fraudulent, and malicious applications.
Additionally, suldo[.]click requested its browser notification delivery to be allowed. Rogue pages employ them to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered ads promote online scams, unreliable/dangerous software, and malware.
To summarize, via websites like suldo[.]click - users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Rogue pages deliver browser notifications (ads) promoting deceptive/malicious material. Note that while legitimate products/services can be encountered via these adverts, they are unlikely to be endorsed by their developers/creators. Instead, the promotion is done by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain commissions fraudulently.
How did suldo[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, if you are seeing these ads from suldo[.]click - it is likely that you've entered it and permitted the delivery (i.e., clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.).
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not enable dubious sites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should you experience random unprompted redirects to suspicious websites (e.g., suldo[.]click, etc.), it could be caused by the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
