What kind of page is bonalable[.]com?
We have examined bonalable[.]com and found that its purpose is to deceive visitors into granting it permission to send notifications. If this permission is given, bonalable[.]com can show fake warnings and other deceptive notifications. Thus, bonalable[.]com and similar sites should be avoided.
Bonalable[.]com in detail
Bonalable[.]com instructs visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. This is a common method (known as clickbait) used by fraudulent websites to manipulate users into granting notification permissions. Once a user clicks "Allow", bonalable[.]com gains the ability to send push notifications to their device.
Bonalable[.]com can present fake notifications claiming that a computer is infected with various threats. They list several issues, such as system crashing, malicious file detection, personal information theft, and the potential to infect other devices on the same network.
These notifications urge the user to take immediate action by clicking "Click Here To Scan", supposedly leading to a McAfee security scan. The use of a reputable name like McAfee is intended to make the alert seem more legitimate. The company does not control or own bonalable[.]com.
Notifications from bonalable[.]com can direct users to various scams and malicious websites. On these pages, users may be tricked into transferring money to scammers, disclosing sensitive information (e.g., login credentials or ID card details), downloading potentially malicious software, or taking other actions.
Thus, it is highly advisable not to visit bonalable[.]com or allow the site to show notifications to avoid issues like monetary loss, identity theft, computer infections, etc. If this web page is already allowed to show notifications, this permission should be revoked immediately.
