How to revoke permissions given to wakeezingnigs.com

What kind of page is wakeezingnigs[.]com?

Upon analysing wakeezingnigs[.]com, we determined that it uses a misleading tactic to obtain permission to show notifications. If visitors fall for it, the site can send deceptive warnings and other types of intrusive and unreliable notifications. Interacting with those notifications can expose users to online threats.

Wakeezingnigs[.]com in detail

Wakeezingnigs[.]com displays a message stating that visitors have to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. However, taking this step grants the site permission to show notifications. This technique is called clickbait, and websites that use it to get this permission often deliver unwanted and misleading notifications.

Our examination shows that wakeezingnigs[.]com can send fake warnings supposedly from McAfee, a legitimate security tool. These messages claim that a PC is in danger due to a critical virus and that protection is disabled. They provide an option to "scan" the system. However, clicking buttons (links) presented in such notifications usually leads to questionable pages.

On those sites, users can be tricked into sending money to fraudsters (e.g., paying for fake services) or revealing personal details, such as credit card details or passwords. Also, opened pages can use deceptive techniques to promote unwanted and potentially malicious software.

So, allowing wakeezingnigs[.]com to show notifications can result in outcomes such as monetary loss, identity theft, account hijacking, computer infections, and more. For these reasons, users should never trust web pages that claim they need to click "Allow" to pass a CAPTCHA, load content, or perform similar actions.

How did wakeezingnigs[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Notification delivery is only possible after permission is given. Getting notifications from wakeezingnigs[.]com suggests that the site has been allowed to send them (by clicking "Allow" or a similar option presented by a browser).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Trustworthy websites do not ask users to click "Allow" to verify their age, complete a CAPTCHA, download files, or play videos. If a site appears suspicious and wants to show notifications, it is advisable to reject the notification request (select "Block" or a similar option) or simply exit the page.

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