However, choosing the "Allow" option provided by a browser while visiting seatzellc[.]com grants the site permission to show notifications.
We discovered that notifications from seatzellc[.]com are fake McAfee warnings claiming that a computer is infected with a high-risk Trojan and urging to remove the supposedly detected threat.
