How to revoke permissions granted to baselanding.site
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is baselanding[.]site?
Our analysis of the site showed that its purpose is to promote a scam ("McAfee Total Protection has expired") and obtain permission to send notifications. Users should not visit baselanding[.]site and never agree to receive notifications from such pages. Doing so can lead to scams and other online threats.
Baselanding[.]site in detail
On baselanding[.]site, users are falsely informed that their Antivirus Total Protection for MacOS subscription may have expired on the specified date. The site claims that, after the expiry date, their MacOS may become vulnerable to viruses, malware, or identity theft.
It also warns that the system could be unprotected and exposed to threats. To pressure users, the baselanding[.]site offers a supposed discount of up to 70% off on Antivirus Total Security for 10 devices, urging them to renew their subscription. This website is fraudulent and should not be trusted.
In addition to displaying a deceptive message, baselanding[.]site requests permission to show notifications. Permitting such sites to send notifications usually results in receiving fake warnings, offers, and other deceptive notifications. Clicking them can take users to potentially malicious pages.
Users can be directed to phishing websites, sites hosting technical support scams, malware, fake giveaways, lotteries, surveys, etc. These sites can be designed to trick users into transferring money to scammers, infecting computers, disclosing sensitive information (e.g., credit card details and passwords), and taking other actions.
Therefore, it is highly advisable not to allow baselanding[.]site to send notifications. If such permission is already given, it should be revoked immediately.

Similar sites in general
Usually, these web pages exploit permission to send notifications to promote scams, harmful applications, and untrustworthy websites. Users stumble upon these sites unknowingly, often through misleading ads, pop-ups, or links in fraudulent emails. Adware can also be used to trick users into opening these sites.
Additionally, malicious ad networks, frequently found on torrent sites, illegal streaming platforms, and other questionable websites, are used to direct users to websites like baselanding[.]site. More examples of similar pages are scanprotects[.]com, bestxsvilrsoftopia[.]com, and ucapsidop[.]info.
How did baselanding[.]site gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites can show notifications if users grant permission, usually by clicking options like "Allow", "Enable Notifications", or a similar button in a browser pop-up. Baselanding[.]site is able to send notifications because it has been allowed to do so.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If a website requests permission to show notifications and seems suspicious, click "Block" or "Deny" or simply close the page. Do not trust sites that ask users to click "Allow" to access content, complete a CAPTCHA, watch a video, etc., because they are unreliable and potentially dangerous.
If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
