Our researchers discovered the roclin[.]click rogue website during a routine inspection of questionable sites. Roclin[.]click promotes scams, pushes browser notification spam, and redirects visitors to different (likely unreliable/malicious) webpages.

Roclin[.]click overview

The content encountered on and through rogue websites may be determined by the visitor's IP address (geolocation). When we visited roclin[.]click, it ran the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam. This deceptive content is disguised as the McAfee anti-virus and performs a "system scan" that detects various threats. It must be stressed that it is all fake and in no way associated with the actual McAfee Corp.

Typically, scams of this kind endorse untrustworthy and dangerous software, e.g., fake anti-viruses, adware, browser hijackers, and PUAs. We have even observed instances of such content proliferating trojans, ransomware, and other malware.

Additionally, roclin[.]click requested visitors to allow it to display browser notifications. These ads promote online scams, unreliable/harmful applications, and even malware.

To summarize, through sites like roclin[.]click - users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Protectyour-device[.]com, defenderfocus[.]xyz, vipcaptcha[.]live, suldo[.]click, headcaptcha[.]live - are merely some examples of rogue websites that we have analyzed recently.

These pages deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material. Note that any genuine products encountered through these adverts are unlikely to be promoted by their developers/creators. Scammers often abuse the affiliate programs of such programs to acquire illegitimate commissions for the promotion.

How did roclin[.]click gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely entered roclin[.]click and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page - thus enabling it to display these advertisements.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not permit suspicious sites to deliver them (i.e., do not select "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious websites without prompt, it could be caused by adware installed onto the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
