Trunapol[.]xyz in detail

Trunapol[.]xyz runs a fake system scan and displays a fake message (alert) from Windows. That message claims that the user's Windows 10 operating system is infected with viruses and other malicious applications, emphasizing the need for immediate action. The alert states that the viruses must be removed and system damage repaired, implying potential harm to the computer and its data.

To further pressure the user, the alert warns that leaving the site or ignoring the message will result in the computer remaining damaged and vulnerable. It is common for sites like trunapol[.]xyz to be promoting legitimate or fake virus removal tools.

It is important to note that legitimate antivirus or security software providers would not typically deliver such warnings through random pop-ups on websites like trunapol[.]xyz. Legitimate security alerts usually come from trusted antivirus software installed on the user's system or through system notifications.

When sites like trunapol[.]xyz promote legitimate antivirus software, their creators are affiliates who seek to collect illegitimate commissions. Trunapol[.]xyz appears to be promoting McAfee antivirus software.

If the user grants permission, the website can subsequently display notifications on the user's device.

When encountering suspicious pages that ask for notification permission, it is recommended to close them or choose the "Block" or "Block Notifications" option.
