The purpose of heigasic[.]com is to trick visitors into believing they need to click "Allow" to pass a CAPTCHA on the site.

However, clicking "Allow" (an option which is provided in a browser's pop-up message) while on heigasic[.]com permits the page to show notifications. Notifications from heigasic[.]com include fake system warnings claiming that the system is at risk, a virus has been detected, and a hard drive error has occurred.

These notifications urge users to take immediate action. Clicking them can direct users to malicious websites.
