How to stop the guardpcsyst.online website from delivering notifications/ads

What kind of page is guardpcsyst[.]online?

While checking out dubious webpages, our researchers discovered the guardpcsyst[.]online rogue page. It is designed to promote scams and browser notification spam. Furthermore, guardpcsyst[.]online can redirect visitors to different (likely untrustworthy/malicious) websites.

Users typically access such pages through redirects caused by sites that use rogue advertising networks.

Guardpcsyst[.]online overview

The behavior of rogue webpages may be determined by the visitor's IP address (geolocation). To elaborate, this information can dictate the content encountered on and through such sites.

When we investigated guardpcsyst[.]online, it presented us with the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam. Comprising an anti-virus interface, system scan, and threat reports – this scheme aims to create the impression of legitimacy and urgency. It falsely claims that the visitor's device is infected.

However, it must be emphasized that no website can detect threats/issues on systems, and guardpcsyst[.]online is not an exception. It must also be mentioned that this scam is in no way associated with the actual McAfee. In most cases, schemes of this kind are used to promote untrustworthy, harmful, and malicious applications.

Additionally, this page requested us to enable it to display browser notifications. Rogue websites use these advertisements to endorse online scams, unreliable/hazardous software, and even malware.

To summarize, through sites like guardpcsyst[.]online – users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue webpages; validitysaver[.]com, protectusonline[.]xyz,  fasterpcnetwork[.]com, q3rrassa[.]click, eredhadbeen[.]xyz, globaladvdomservices[.]com – are merely some examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious content. It is noteworthy that any legitimate products or services encountered via these advertisements are highly unlikely to be promoted in this fashion by their developers/creators. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did guardpcsyst[.]online gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, you've likely entered guardpcsyst[.]online and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling the advertisement delivery.

Keep in mind that rogue pages often use deception (e.g., clickbait, scare tactics, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick visitors into allowing the notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit suspect websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious sites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
