How to block ads from news-situfi.com

What kind of page is news-situfi[.]com?

We have uncovered that news-situfi[.]com uses clickbait to get permission to send notifications. If users allow this site to show notifications, it can deliver fake warnings and other misleading messages. Moreover, interacting with those notifications can lead to untrustworthy websites.

News-situfi[.]com in detail

When visited, news-situfi[.]com displays an image of a robot and two people and a reCAPTCHA logo, and instructs visitors to press "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. This is a misleading technique because clicking "Allow" is not required to pass a CAPTCHA. In reality, choosing this option allows news-situfi[.]com to show notifications.

Notifications from news-situfi[.]com often include fake virus alerts. They claim that Trojan, spyware, and adware have been detected on the device. They state that specific threats, such as "Java/Bytverify" and "Win32/Killav.DL" Trojans and an adware named "Win32/Hotbar" have been found.

These notifications also include warnings claiming that McAfee has detected 5 viruses and that 76 percent of the hardware is damaged. They urge the user to scan and fix the problems immediately. It is important to note that McAfee antivirus (a legitimate security tool) is not associated with these deceptive notifications.

The purpose of these notifications is to lure users into clicking the provided "options" (links). Doing so can lead them to potentially malicious websites, such as scam sites designed to steal information (e.g., login credentials or credit card details) or money. Users may also encounter sites distributing unwanted or malicious applications.

Thus, news-situfi[.]com should be avoided and should never be allowed to show notifications.

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