How to stop evnilost.xyz from displaying notifications

What kind of page is evnilost[.]xyz?

Evnilost[.]xyz is a misleading website promoting the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam to deceive visitors. It presents fake virus alerts to persuade users to purchase legitimate software. Moreover, the site asks for authorization to exhibit dubious notifications.

Evnilost[.]xyz in detail

Evnilost[.]xyz presents a fake scan of users' operating systems for threats, supposedly finding five viruses. It then displays a false warning message, claiming that sensitive information like personal and banking details are at risk, and encourages users to eliminate all threats by starting McAfee Antivirus.

However, clicking the "Start McAfee" button on the site redirects users to an affiliate link, indicating that the site is owned by affiliates who earn commissions when someone purchases a McAfee Antivirus subscription through their page. These fraudulent marketing techniques, even for legitimate software products, should not be trusted.

It is worth mentioning that McAfee and other trustworthy companies do not resort to using misleading web pages like evnilost[.]xyz to promote their offerings.

In addition to displaying deceptive content, evnilost[.]xyz asks for permission to show notifications. Granting permission to evnilost[.]xyz to display notifications could result in receiving alerts for questionable schemes, possibly harmful applications, and other detrimental content.

For this reason, it is highly recommended to refrain from agreeing to receive notifications from evnilost[.]xyz or similar sites.
