Topsafeguardcenter[.]com overview

At the time of research, topsafeguardcenter[.]com ran a variant of the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam. However, the content encountered on and through rogue pages might differ based on the visitor's IP address (geolocation).

Composed of a system scan and several threat alerts, the scheme on topsafeguardcenter[.]com aims to create an impression that the visitor's device is at great risk. It must be stressed that all the information provided by the scam is false, and this deceptive content is in no way associated with any legitimate products, services, or entities.

Typically, scams of this kind promote fake anti-viruses, adware, browser hijackers, PUAs, or other suspicious software. We have even found some instances of these schemes proliferating malware (e.g., trojans, ransomware, cryptominers, etc.).

Additionally, topsafeguardcenter[.]com asked permission to deliver browser notifications. If allowed, the webpage will spam users with ads that promote online scams, unreliable/hazardous software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated countless rogue pages; pifeen[.]com, kilimanjarospot[.]top, and fujivista[.]top are merely a couple of our newest articles. These websites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material.

Remember that while legitimate content may be encountered via these adverts – it is unlikely to be promoted by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers seeking to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed product's affiliate programs.

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

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these adverts from topsafeguardcenter[.]com – it is evident that when this page was accessed, permission for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you happen upon a questionable webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny the notification delivery (i.e., select "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious sites without prompt, it could be due to the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
