The Mp3juices.cc website provides visitors with the opportunity to download chosen audio files in the mp3 format. Users can choose the source of the audio, such as a specific website. Unfortunately, even if visitors disregard the potential legal consequences of downloading copyrighted content, there are more immediate risks associated with using mp3juices.cc.

After analyzing the website, cybersecurity researchers discovered that it employs rogue advertising networks. In practical terms, this means that users landing on the site could be presented with dubious advertisements, as well as taken to untrustworthy destinations via forced redirects. Mp3juices.cc has been observed displaying exactly such behavior by opening notification-list.com, a shady website that in turn could open several other untrustworthy pages.

Users also could be taken to a deceptive website distributing a questionable application named MacKeeper. Typically, applications that rely on such dubious methods as part of their distribution are classified as PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). PUPs may possess various intrusive capabilities, including the generation of unwanted advertisements (adware), taking over the user's browser (browser hijackers), spying on users' browsing activities or collecting information from the device. 

Keep in mind that mp3juices.cc also may try to lure users into enabling or subscribing to its push notifications. If allowed, the site will then be able to deliver annoying notifications and advertisements directly to the device. These are unlikely to be for legitimate sites or software products, so users should be careful when interacting with them.
