What kind of page is dualchooner[.]com?

We have inspected dualchooner[.]com and found that it is one of the web pages that present misleading instructions to trick visitors into permitting them to show notifications. After obtaining this permission, dualchooner[.]com can send fake warnings and other messages to devices to promote other dubious websites.

Dualchooner[.]com in detail

Dualchooner[.]com displays a fake video player and a loading spinner to make it seem like some video is loading. It also instructs visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. Dualchooner[.]com suggests that its content will be accessed after completing the required steps.

However, clicking "Allow" (the option a browser provides once dualchooner[.]com is opened) grants the page permission to show notifications. Websites that use clickbait or other misleading tactics to obtain permission to send notifications should be avoided. If allowed, they can deliver fake notifications.

Our analysis of dualchooner[.]com has shown that notifications it delivers often contain fake system warnings claiming that a computer is infected with viruses and urging to delete the viruses immediately. Interacting with these notifications can direct users to scam websites designed to steal money or sensitive information (e.g., login credentials or credit card details).

These notifications can also lead users to web pages hosting unwanted and malicious software. Thus, agreeing to receive notifications from dualchooner[.]com can lead to monetary loss, identity theft, computer infections, and other issues. This page should be avoided and closed if ever accessed.
