What kind of page is phosolica[.]com?

Our team has discovered that phosolica[.]com is a dubious web page designed to trick visitors into agreeing to receive its notifications. If visitors agree, they can get fake warnings, alerts, offers, and other unwanted content. Thus, it is advisable to avoid phosolica[.]com and not to permit it to show notifications.

Phosolica[.]com in detail

Phosolica[.]com is designed to display a misleading message saying that visitors have to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. The "Allow" option is provided by a web browser when visiting phosolica[.]com, and choosing it allows the site to send notifications. Pages that use clickbait (or other deceptive methods) should not be trusted.

If permitted to send notifications, phosolica[.]com can deliver fake system warnings claiming that a computer has been infected with five viruses and suspicious programs. These notifications urge users to click the provided link ("Scan PC" button) to scan and clean their systems. Doing so can take users to untrustworthy pages.

Websites opened through deceptive notifications can be used to steal information (e.g., login details, credit card information) or money. Also, they can trick visitors into installing unwanted software or running malware on their devices. Generally, allowing phosolica[.]com to show notifications can lead to monetary loss, system infections, or other issues.

Thus, if phosolica[.]com is visited, it should be closed. If this or a similar page has been allowed to show notifications, this permission should be revoked as soon as possible.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
