Online-deal[.]click in detail

On online-deal[.]click, a message promotes McAfee Total Protection, emphasizing that the user's PC is infected with five viruses and immediate action is required. It creates a sense of urgency by stating that the user's McAfee subscription has expired and urges the user to renew it to maintain computer protection.

Additionally, it highlights the vulnerability of unprotected PCs, stating that they are 93% more likely to suffer from malware.
