How to revoke permissions given to bsm-defender.pro

What kind of page is bsm-defender[.]pro?

We have inspected bsm-defender[.]pro and found that it is a misleading web page crafted to trick visitors into allowing it to send notifications. The site exploits this permission to show fake notifications that can lead users to untrustworthy websites. Thus, bsm-defender[.]pro should not be trusted.

Bsm-defender[.]pro in detail

When users visit bsm-defender[.]pro, it displays a fake reCAPTCHA asking them to check a box to prove they are not robots. Next, it prompts visitors to click "Allow" to confirm again, but clicking this actually gives the site permission to send notifications. Notifications from bsm-defender[.]pro can contain various fake warnings, offers, and other messages.

While we examined bsm-defender[.]pro, it sent fake "Windows Update" notifications claiming that McAfee detected an infected item in a shared folder and urging to download a scanner to remove the threat. McAfee antivirus is a legitimate security product and is not connected in any way to bsm-defender[.]pro or the notifications it displays.

Notifications from bsm-defender[.]pro can expose users to serious threats. These notifications may direct users to phishing pages that try to steal personal data, scam websites aiming to pilfer money, or pages pushing unsafe and potentially malicious software downloads. The risks involved include malware infections, identity theft, and financial loss.

Thus, it is strongly recommended to deny notification requests from this site and revoke any permissions that may have already been given.

Websites like bsm-defender[.]pro are typically accessed unintentionally. This can happen when users are tricked into clicking deceptive elements—such as fake download buttons, misleading ads, or suspicious links—on unreliable pages. Rogue advertising networks, often used by torrent or illegal streaming sites, can also lead users to such pages.

Sometimes, pop-ups or ads generated by adware already installed on a device may lead users to such sites. In other cases, users may end up on these pages by clicking deceptive links in spam emails. More examples of websites that exploit notification permissions are inj-protect[.]pro, smartadsflow[.]top, and bicarnsh.co[.]in.

How did bsm-defender[.]pro gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

If a page like bsm-defender[.]pro is showing notifications, it means you (or someone using your device) likely permitted it by clicking an "Allow" button on a message from a browser while visiting the site. Websites cannot display browser notifications unless this permission is explicitly granted by the user.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If a website asks whether you want to receive notifications and it seems untrustworthy—or you simply do not want to get notifications from it—always select "Block" or "Deny". Never click "Allow" to access content, prove you are not a robot, or start a download. Reputable websites do not require notification permissions for such actions.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
