Worde[.]click in detail

Worde[.]click presents visitors with a fake warning claiming that their McAfee Total Protection subscriptions expired on the specified date. It provides a serial number and informs visitors that their computers are unprotected and vulnerable to viruses and hackers.

Worde[.]click urges visitors to click the "Renew Subscription" button to complete the payment to renew the subscription and offers a 50% discount if visitors act fast, as the offer will expire in a few minutes.

It is likely that worde[.]click is operated by affiliates who receive a commission for every successful sale of McAfee Total Protection made through their referral links. McAfee is a legitimate company and it does not use sites like worde[.]click to promote its software products.

Furthermore, worde[.]click downloads and executable file. During our examination, it downloaded an installer for a shady app named Global PC Cleaner Pro. It may also download installers for adware, browser hijackers, and even malware. Thus, it is strongly recommended not to trust downloads from worde[.]click.

Another reason to avoid worde[.]click is that it asks for permission to show notifications. These notifications can open a variety of websites, including but not limited to pornographic sites, gambling sites, phishing sites, and sites that promote fake software or tech support scams. These sites may also attempt to install malware or other unwanted software on the user's device.

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.
