How to stop ivkduj.com from sending notifications

What kind of page is ivkduj[.]com?

We have inspected ivkduj[.]com and found that it is designed to trick visitors into agreeing to receive its notifications. To achieve this, ivkduj[.]com uses a technique known as clickbait. It is highly advisable not to permit pages like ivkduj[.]com to show notifications and remove any permissions already granted to such sites.

Ivkduj[.]com in detail

Ivkduj[.]com displays a fake video player resembling YouTube. It also instructs visitors to press "Allow" (an option provided by a browser) to watch the video. However, clicking "Allow" in a pop-up that appears upon visiting ivkduj[.]com grants the page permission to show notifications. Pages that use deception should not be allowed to show notifications.

We discovered that notifications from ivkduj[.]com contain fake warnings. For example, they claim that five viruses have been detected on a computer, and the hard drive is infected. These notifications urge users to renew McAfee protection to scan the hard drive and remove viruses.

It is important to mention that the McAfee security tool is a legitimate software product, and the company behind it is not responsible for ivkduj[.]com. It is likely that the creators of ivkduj[.]com are affiliates seeking to earn commissions by promoting legitimate security software.

Notifications from ivkduj[.]com can also lead users to untrustworthy websites. For instance, phishing websites, sites hosting technical support scams, potentially malicious programs, fake giveaways, lotteries, etc. Thus, users may be tricked into purchasing fake or unnecessary products, sending scammers money, downloading unwanted software, providing sensitive information, or taking other actions.

For these reasons, it is strongly recommended not to permit ivkduj[.]com to send notifications. If this site is already allowed to send them, this permission should be removed.

How did ivkduj[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
