What kind of page is sereq[.]click?
We have inspected sereq[.]click and concluded that it is a deceptive web page. It presents misleading content to lure visitors into accepting its notifications. Once allowed to show notifications, sereq[.]click bombards users with fake alerts, warnings, and similar messages. The site should be avoided.
Sereq[.]click in detail
Sereq[.]click displays a fake video player and instructs visitors to press "Allow" to watch the video. It refers to the "Allow" option provided by a browser and implies that choosing it is required to play a video. However, clicking the "Allow" option permits sereq[.]click to show notifications.
Web pages that use clickbait or other deceptive tactics to obtain permission to send notifications cannot be trusted. Their notifications are often misleading and can direct users to potentially malicious websites. Notifications from sereq[.]click include fake alerts (supposedly from Norton) claiming that a license has expired and urging to activate Norton to clean a computer.
Interacting with these notifications can lead users to websites designed to steal login credentials, credit card details, personal identification details, and other information. Notifications from a page like sereq[.]click can also promote sites designed to steal money through technical support or other scams.
Moreover, these notifications may direct users to web pages designed to distribute adware, browser hijackers, other unwanted apps, and malicious software. Therefore, sereq[.]click should never be visited nor allowed to show notifications to avoid the associated risks.
If notifications from sereq[.]click already appear, permission to send them should be removed (revoked) as soon as possible.
