The way Emicalcove.xyz operates is virtually indistinguishable from all the other dubious websites propagating this browser-based scheme. Users will be presented with fake scenarios that try to mask the true consequences of clicking the 'Allow' button by implying that it serves some other function. For example, many deceptive websites pretend to be doing a CAPTCHA check, claiming that users must prove they are not robots by clicking the button. Emicalcove.xyz, in particular, has been observed to display a video window accompanied by a message similar to:
'Click Allow to watch'
Users should keep in mind that they may encounter other deceiving scenarios as well, based on factors such as their IP addresses or geolocation.
Once Emicalcove.xyz receives the browser permissions it needs, it will begin to deliver annoying and unwanted advertisements via the affected browser.
