How to stop getting notifications from fastconnectionflow.com

What kind of page is fastconnectionflow[.]com?

We have inspected fastconnectionflow[.]com and learned that it runs the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam. The site also requests permission to show notifications. When users agree to receive such notifications, they are bombarded with fake warnings, alerts, and other deceptive content. Thus, fastconnectionflow[.]com cannot be trusted.

Fastconnectionflow[.]com in detail

When visited, fastconnectionflow[.]com displays a fake message disguised as an alert from the McAfee security tool. This message warns the user that they have visited an unsafe website containing illegal content. It claims that the computer is at risk of virus infection and advises performing an antivirus scan to continue browsing safely.

Also, fastconnectionflow[.]com performs a fake antivirus scan and "detects" various threats. It is important to note that McAfee is a legitimate computer security company and does not own/control fastconnectionflow[.]com. Fastconnectionflow[.]com is likely created by affiliates who aim to earn illegitimate commissions for promoting a McAfee software product.

In addition to presenting deceptive content, fastconnectionflow[.]com requests permission to deliver notifications. If allowed, it can send fake notifications claiming that the McAfee license has expired and urging users to renew it (even if they never had any subscriptions for McAfee products).

Clicking such notifications can direct users to various dangerous websites, including scam sites designed steal personal information (e.g., credit card details or login credentials) or extract money from unsuspecting individuals. Also, these notifications can take users to sites designed to trick them into installing malicious apps or taking other harmful actions.

Overall, interacting with notifications from sites like fastconnectionflow[.]com poses privacy and security risks, making it important to avoid allowing such notifications.
