How to avoid notifications from squetofer.com

What kind of page is squetofer[.]com?

Our inspection of squetofer[.]com has revealed that it is deceptive. It presents a misleading message to trick visitors into granting it permission to show notifications. Moreover, if allowed, squetofer[.]com can bombard users with notifications containing links to untrustworthy websites. Therefore, users should avoid visiting this website.

Squetofer[.]com in detail

Squetofer[.]com displays a fake video player, a loading spinner animation, and a message saying to click "Allow" to confirm that you are not a robot. This is misleading because accepting notifications from a website is never required to pass a CAPTCHA or access content. If permitted, squetofer[.]com can send notifications containing fake warnings.

These warnings are designed to trick users into believing that their antivirus license has expired, error "406" has occurred, and an update has failed. These warnings also claim that a connection is not secure and include the McAfee logo to appear legitimate. The purpose of these notifications is to lure users into interacting with them (clicking the provided links).

Notifications from squetofer[.]com can take users to sites designed to steal passwords, banking details, ID card information, or other details. They can also promote various scams created to extract money from users. Sometimes, sites like squetofer[.]com can send notifications to promote pages hosting unwanted or even malicious software.

Therefore, it is highly advisable to be careful when encountering suspicious websites asking permission to show notifications. If an unreliable site like squetofer[.]com already displays notifications, permission to do so should be revoked as soon as possible.
