Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is mybvids[.]com?
Our team has inspected mybvids[.]com and concluded that the goal of the creators of this site is to trick visitors into agreeing to receive notifications from the page. Mybvids[.]com displays misleading content when trying to get this permission. Users should avoid visiting such pages.
Mybvids[.]com in detail
On mybvids[.]com, a play button and a message instructing visitors to click "Allow" to watch the video are presented. This technique is known as clickbait. It is intended to trick visitors into believing that clicking "Allow" is required to perform certain actions (in this case, to play the video).
However, clicking "Allow" (an option presented by a browser) permits websites to show notifications (if they request to show them). If allowed, unreliable websites can send deceptive notifications. Mybvids[.]com sends fake alerts implying that your card payment has failed and urging you to update payment to activate protection.
These notifications may direct users to phishing sites, web pages promoting fake lotteries, giveaways, tech support scams, or malicious files and software. On these sites, users might be tricked into transferring money to scammers for fake services (or products), disclosing sensitive information, or unintentionally downloading harmful programs.
For these reasons, it is highly advisable to avoid visiting mybvids[.]com and never allow it to send notifications. The same caution applies to similar websites. If a suspicious site like mybvids[.]com is already sending notifications, revoke its permissions to protect your security and privacy.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If an untrustworthy site asks to send notifications, make sure to select "Block", "Deny", or an equivalent choice.

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