Alldefensepc[.]com in detail

Alldefensepc[.]com runs the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam. It shows a fake antivirus scanner that "detects" five computer viruses. Alldefensepc[.]com also displays a message claiming that detected viruses can damage the operating system and put personal data, banking information, and other sensitive data at risk.

Alldefensepc[.]com urges visitors to start the McAfee Antivirus to eliminate all threats. Clicking the "Start McAfee" button opens an affiliate link - a legitimate McAfee website. It means that alldefensepc[.]com is owned by affiliates who use fraudulent marketing to promote antivirus software. They earn money when someone purchases a McAfee subscription via their page.

Additionally, alldefensepc[.]com asks for permission to show notifications. Its notifications claim that a computer is infected too. Also, those notifications may open phishing websites, technical support scam sites, and other untrustworthy (potentially malicious) pages. Thus, it is strongly recommended not to agree to receive notifications from alldefensepc[.]com.
