Myultimatesafeguard[.]com overview

When we inspected myultimatesafeguard[.]com, it ran a version of the "McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!" scam. However, it is pertinent to mention that the content encountered on and through rogue sites may vary based on the visitor's IP address (geolocation).

This scam performs a fake system scan that detects non-existent threats on visitors' computers. It also uses the name McAfee – to create an impression of legitimacy. It must be emphasized that all these claims are false, and this scam is not associated with the actual McAfee anti-virus or its developer – McAfee Corp. In most cases, deceptive content of this kind is used to promote unreliable, fraudulent, and even dangerous software.

Furthermore, myultimatesafeguard[.]com requested to be allowed to display browser notifications. These advertisements commonly endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

Notifgetnews[.]com, news-lifume[.]com, and yourequiredatanalysis[.]info are just a couple examples of rogue webpages we have written about recently. These sites display browser notifications that may appear ordinary and harmless, yet they promote deceptive and malicious content.

It is noteworthy that while genuine products or services may be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the promoted content's affiliate programs.

How did myultimatesafeguard[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. If you are receiving these adverts from myultimatesafeguard[.]com – you have likely accessed this webpage at some point and enabled the advertisement delivery by pressing "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.

It is worth mentioning that rogue pages often rely on deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA tests, adult-oriented content, etc.) to lure visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Be selective about which sites you permit to display browser notifications. Do you not enable suspicious pages to do so (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such webpages (i.e., select "Block", "Block "Notifications", etc.).

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to dubious websites, it could be caused by adware installed on the browser or system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
