The behavior of rogue websites might be influenced by factors like the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information may determine the content encountered on and through such webpages. At the time of research, totalwebarmorsolutions[.]com ran a variant of the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam.
Schemes of this kind claim to detect various issues on users' devices, e.g., security breaches, malware/virus infections, compromised data, overabundance of junk files, etc. Usually, the goal is the trick them into downloading/installing or purchasing a piece of software. In most cases, these scams promote fake anti-virus tools, browser hijackers, adware, or PUAs. In some rare instances, such scams even proliferate trojans, ransomware, or other malware.

Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated countless rogue pages; networkspeedchain.co[.]in, mobitera[.]online, and opdomain22[.]online are just a couple of our newest articles.
These websites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious material. Remember that any genuine content encountered via these adverts is most likely promoted by scammers who abuse its affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did totalwebarmorsolutions[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
User consent is necessary for any website to deliver browser notifications. Therefore, if you are receiving these advertisements from totalwebarmorsolutions[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
It is worth mentioning that rogue sites often use various lures (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification tests, explicit adult-oriented content, clickbait, etc.) to entice users into enabling notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
It is imperative to be selective when permitting websites to deliver browser notifications. Questionable sites must not be allowed; instead, their requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
It is pertinent to mention that having adware installed on the browser/system can result in dubious webpages being forced-open at random. Should you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, inspect the device and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
