Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is webtyras[.]com?
Upon inspecting webtyras[.]com, we concluded that it is an unreliable page that uses clickbait to receive permission to send notifications. The site displays deceptive content to trick users into allowing it to do so. Also, webtyras[.]com may redirect users to other shady pages. Thus, webtyras[.]com should be avoided.
Webtyras[.]com in detail
Webtyras[.]com displays an image of robots with a message saying that visitors have to click the "Allow" button to pass a CAPTCHA (to prove that they are not robots). Clicking the "Allow" (or similar) button provided by a browser grants the site permission to show notifications. Pages like webtyras[.]com usually deliver deceptive notifications.
We found that webtyras[.]com displays notifications disguised as notifications from McAfee informing users about a failed subscription payment. It is important to note that McAfee antivirus is a legitimate security tool. Sites like webtyras[.]com often exploit the names of legitimate companies or products to trick users into interacting with their notifications.
Clicking notifications from webtyras[.]com can lead users to phishing websites, technical support scams, fake lotteries, giveaways, surveys, websites hosting adware, browser hijackers, or even malware, and other unreliable web pages. Thus, users may end up losing money, infecting their computers, becoming victims of identity theft, or experiencing other issues.
Overall, it is strongly recommended not to permit webtyras[.]com and similar web pages to send notifications and avoid visiting them (pretty often, these sites can redirect users to other deceptive pages).
