How to stop ijony.click from showing notifications

What kind of page is ijony[.]click?

Our team inspected ijony[.]click and found that it is a deceptive website running the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam. Also, this page asks for permission to show notifications. None of the claims on ijony[.]click are true. Thus, this page should be ignored.

Ijony[.]click in detail

Ijony[.]click shows a fake antivirus scanner that supposedly detects five viruses on a computer. It is designed to trick visitors into believing that sensitive information (e.g., banking details) will be compromised if they do not remove "detected" threats. Ijony[.]click instructs visitors to click the "Start McAfee" button to eliminate all threats.

Clicking that button redirects to a legitimate McAfee page with an affiliate's ID in its URL. It means that ijony[.]click is created by individuals who participate in the McAfee affiliate program. They earn a commission when someone purchases McAfee antivirus software subscription through their page.

McAfee is a legitimate computer security company. It has nothing to do with ijony[.]click and similar pages. Ijony[.]click is a page that uses fraudulent marketing to promote legitimate software. As we mentioned in the introduction, ijony[.]click not only displays deceptive content but also wants to show notifications.

Typically, notifications from websites like ijony[.]click promote other shady pages, various scams, and potentially malicious apps. Thus, ijony[.]click should never be allowed to show notifications.

Web pages of this type in general

There are many websites like ijony[.]click that display deceptive content to lure visitors into paying for legitimate antivirus software. Some examples are recif[.]click, asxerk[.]click, and ivonch[.]click. Users do not open them on purpose.

How did ijony[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

They are allowed to show notifications by clicking the "Allow" (or similar) button when browsers notify visitors that those pages want to deliver notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Click the "Block", "Block Notifications", or equivalent button when any suspicious page asks for permission to show notifications or close it. In any case, do not click the "Allow" button.
