Reportyouridentitydata[.]site in detail

Reportyouridentitydata[.]site is designed to "scan" the operating system for threats, "detect" a few viruses and then display a fake Norton Security message saying that a computer might be infected with viruses. That message also claims that a Norton subscription may have expired and urges to renew it to keep a computer protected.

Clicking the "Proceed" button opens an affiliate link. It appears that reportyouridentitydata[.]site is owned by affiliates who use deceptive marketing to promote legitimate antivirus.

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.
