Yourdatadefencebulwark[.]live in detail

Yourdatadefencebulwark[.]live runs the "Norton Security - Your PC might be infected with viruses!" scam. After running a fake system scan, it displays a pop-up message claiming that a computer may be infected with viruses. That message also claims that Norton antivirus subscription may have expired and urges to renew it to keep a computer protected.

Clicking the "Proceed" button opens an affiliate link. It means that yourdatadefencebulwark[.]live is controlled by affiliates who earn commissions when someone purchases a Norton AntiVirus subscription. The NortonLifeLock company that has developed Norton AntiVirus does not promote its products using pages like yourdatadefencebulwark[.]live.

In addition to using fraudulent marketing to advertise legitimate software, yourdatadefencebulwark[.]live asks for permission to show notifications. It should not be allowed to show them. Usually, notifications from such pages promote various scams, shady apps, etc. Also, those notifications can open malicious pages.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
