How to avoid getting notifications from upspeedconnection.com

What kind of page is upspeedconnection[.]com?

During our inspection, we uncovered that upspeedconnection[.]com hosts the "Norton Antivirus - Your Windows 10 Might Be Infected" scam. Additionally, it requests permission to show notifications, which can be exploited to promote more scams and other unreliable sites. Thus, users should avoid visiting upspeedconnection[.]com.

Upspeedconnection[.]com in detail

Upspeedconnection[.]com mimics a system scan and then shows a fake alert claiming that the Norton Antivirus subscription has expired and warning that the computer is at risk of malware infections. The site encourages the visitor to renew their subscription immediately by clicking the provided button.

Such pages are typically run by affiliates who earn money by redirecting users to other websites, often tricking them into purchasing unnecessary or fake security software. The alerts and warnings presented on upspeedconnection[.]com are fake and have no connection to Norton or any legitimate antivirus provider.

Additionally, upspeedconnection[.]com wants to show notifications. Granting this site notification permission allows it to push intrusive pop-ups (e.g., fake offers or alerts), which may redirect users to questionable or harmful websites. These pages can be used to steal information (e.g., credit card details or login credentials) or money, or distribute malicious or unwanted software.

To maintain online safety, it is best to avoid engaging with this site entirely and refuse any requests to enable notifications. If permission has already been granted, it should be removed immediately.

In some cases, adware installed on the device may also display advertisements that lead to these deceptive pages. These sites can also be accessed through links included in fraudulent emails.
