Our team has analyzed safeguardforbrowser[.]com and found that this page uses fear tactics and clickbait to trick visitors into taking certain actions. Typically, websites like safeguardforbrowser[.]com are accessed unintentionally. It is highly recommended that users close such sites if they encounter them.

Safeguardforbrowser[.]com in detail

Safeguardforbrowser[.]com has at least two different designs. In one case, safeguardforbrowser[.]com displays a fake pop-up warning claiming that the visitor's device has been compromised and urging them to take immediate action. Also, safeguardforbrowser[.]com claims that a user's Chrome browser is damaged by malware and aggressive ads have infiltrated the device.

It also instructs visitors to click the "Allow error alerts" button supposedly to subscribe to spam protection. However, clicking the "Allow" button grants safeguardforbrowser[.]com permission to send notifications. In the second scenario, safeguardforbrowser[.]com offers to optimize the computer's performance with complete spam and privacy protection.

In both cases, safeguardforbrowser[.]com asks for permission to show notifications. We discovered that notifications from safeguardforbrowser[.]com can contain fake alerts (e.g., messages claiming that the user's browser is blocked and six viruses have been detected). Interacting with these notifications can lead to untrustworthy websites.

Notifications generated by safeguardforbrowser[.]com can lead to phishing websites, fake lotteries, technical support scams, bogus giveaways, pages offering or urging to download potentially malicious apps, etc. Thus, trusting pages opened via notifications delivered by safeguardforbrowser[.]com might cause financial losses, identity theft, computer infections, and other problems.

Overall, it is strongly recommended not to visit sites like safeguardforbrowser[.]com and never allow them to show notifications. If such permission is already granted, it should be removed as soon as possible.
