Our analysis of protectkingdom[.]com has shown that it is a misleading website created to trick visitors into permitting it to send notifications. Protectkingdom[.]com and similar sites should not be allowed to show notifications, as their notifications often are fraudulent. It is worth noting that users rarely access such websites on purpose.

Protectkingdom[.]com in detail

Protectkingdom[.]com displays a deceptive pop-up message claiming that a cleaner update is needed to protect a Windows device and the operating system is running slow. The site urges visitors to update now to instantly clean and protect their devices. Also, protectkingdom[.]com asks for permission to show notifications.

If permitted, protectkingdom[.]com might display deceptive warnings, fraudulent investment offers, or other misleading notifications designed to trick users into taking certain actions. These notifications may lead users to sites created to extract sensitive personal information and money, distribute malware, etc.

For instance, users may encounter technical support scams claiming that they must call the provided number to resolve the issue (e.g., remove supposedly detected malware). Also, users may be lured into paying for fake services or products and taking similar actions.
