Removing the notifications/adverts delivered by fasterpcnetwork.com

What kind of page is fasterpcnetwork[.]com?

While checking out questionable websites, our researchers discovered the fasterpcnetwork[.]com rogue page. It runs scams, promotes browser notification spam, and redirects visitors to other (likely untrustworthy/malicious) sites. Most users access such webpages via redirects caused by sites that use rogue advertising networks.

Fasterpcnetwork[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue pages (i.e., what they load/promote) might depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we accessed fasterpcnetwork[.]com, it presented us with a "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam.

This scheme consists of a fake anti-virus interface, system scan, and threat reports. It must be stressed that all the claims made by this scam are false, and it is in no way associated with the actual McAfee. Typically, scams using claims about viruses aim to trick users into downloading/installing untrustworthy software (e.g., fake anti-viruses, adware, browser hijackers, PUAs, etc.) or even malware (e.g., trojans, ransomware, etc.).

Furthermore, fasterpcnetwork[.]com requested us to enable its browser delivery. Rogue sites use their notifications to advertise online scams, unreliable/harmful, and malware.

To summarize, through webpages like fasterpcnetwork[.]com – users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Q3rrassa[.]click, eredhadbeen[.]xyz, globaladvdomservices[.]com, and wholenicefeed[.]com are merely some examples of rogue webpages that we have analyzed recently.

These pages deliver browser notifications that endorse online scams and malicious content. Note that any genuine products or services encountered through these advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers/creators. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did fasterpcnetwork[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you've likely accessed fasterpcnetwork[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspicious sites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious websites unprompted, it could be caused by 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.
