More about similar pages

Pretty often, users access websites of this type through other dubious sites (e.g., torrent sites and illegal movie streaming pages) that employ rogue advertising networks. Misleading ads, pop-ups, buttons, and links on websites of this kind can also promote sites like safe-secure-protect[.]com.

Moreover, these pages can be promoted using deceptive emails containing fraudulent links and adware-type apps. More examples of pages that can display untrustworthy notifications are efgrghhindhimi[.]info, forenteion[.]com, and fondsmoney[.]com.

How did safe-secure-protect[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only display notifications if users give them permission. This permission is usually granted when users click options like "Allow" or "Allow Notifications" in a pop-up presented by their web browser on a site that wants to send notifications. Therefore, if you see notifications from safe-secure-protect[.]com, it is because you have allowed this site to send them.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If a suspicious website prompts you to agree to receive notifications, select "Block", "Deny", or a similar option. Legitimate websites will never ask you to click "Allow" to bypass CAPTCHAs, access their content (e.g., download files or watch videos), or complete other tasks.

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