What kind of page is weseeitnow[.]com?

During our analysis of weseeitnow[.]com, we learned that the purpose of this site is to receive permission from visitors to show notifications. This site uses a deceptive method to achieve its goal. Users should be cautious when encountering pages like weseeitnow[.]com and never allow them to show notifications.

Weseeitnow[.]com in detail

Weseeitnow[.]com instructs users to click" Allow" to watch the video and close the presented pop-up message. The site implies that visitors have to click "Allow" to be able to access its content. However, this is just a clickbait technique to lure visitors into agreeing to receive notifications from the page.

No actual video is played upon clicking "Allow". Instead, weseeitnow[.]com starts sending deceptive notifications containing fake virus alerts and similar messages. We found that weseeitnow[.]com can deliver bogus Malwarebytes notifications, claiming that four viruses are attacking a computer and that an urgent update is required to protect it.

Clicking these notifications can lead to phishing sites, technical support scams, fake giveaways, lotteries, etc. The opened pages may trick users into disclosing sensitive information (e.g., credit card details, passwords, ID card information), paying money for fake services or products, or taking other actions.

Also, users may be lured into downloading unwanted and malicious software. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to permit weseeitnow[.]com to show notifications. If this site already has permission to send them, this permission should be revoked. Our guide for eliminating permissions granted to websites like weseeitnow[.]com is provided below.

More about similar pages

Users often open sites like weseeitnow[.]com accidentally. They access these pages via links in fraudulent emails, pages associated with rogue advertising networks (like torrent sites and illegal movie streaming web pages), or advertisements displayed by installed adware.

Misleading advertisements, pop-ups (e.g., fake warnings), buttons, and similar content on untrustworthy websites can also take users to websites like weseeitnow[.]com. Some examples of similar sites are suddslife[.]com, suliazulitess[.]com, and snadsspace[.]com.

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

Websites cannot show notifications unless they are permitted to do so. This permission is granted by choosing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option provided by a web browser while visiting a page that requests permission to show notifications. Thus, weseeitnow[.]com delivers notifications because it has been allowed to show them.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Always choose "Block", "Block Notifications", "Deny", or a similar option when a dubious page asks for permission to show notifications. Note that trustworthy websites do not instruct visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that you are not a robot, play a video, continue to the site, etc.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
