Iwogo[.]sbs in detail

Iwogo[.]sbs displays the Google Chrome logo and instructs visitors to click "Allow" to prove that they are not robots and pass the "Google Chrome security check".

If allowed, iwogo[.]sbs can show fake notifications claiming that Norton antivirus has expired and urging users to activate protection immediately. They suggest that failure to act will leave the device unprotected. These notifications feature deceptive buttons like "Click Here To Turn On Norton" and "ENABLE PROTECTION" to trick users into interacting with them.

It is important to note that Norton is a legitimate computer security software company that does not own or control iwogo[.]sbs. The site uses the legitimate company's name to appear trustworthy. Clicking notifications from iwogo[.]sbs can lead users to a variety of unreliable websites.
