Protective-system.com is a deceiving website that relies on scare tactics to push users into purchasing a subscription for an anti-malware product. The page also may ask users to subscribe to its push notifications and will most likely abuse the associated browser permissions to deliver unwanted and annoying advertisements to the user's device.
When the Protective-system.com page is opened, it will pretend to run a security scheme, which is completely fake, as websites cannot do so on their own. The results will always show that the user's device has multiple malware threats on it. To resolve the situation and prevent any further damage, the con site will recommend that users buy a subscription for the promoted security solution. In this case, this is the legitimate McAfee security application. Even when the promoted product is a real one, users should remember that its developers have no connection with the dubious page, and the fraudsters are most likely trying to earn illegitimate commission fees from each sale.
In addition, this particular 'You PC has been infected by viruses!' tactic has been proliferated through numerous, questionable pages. Users should always pay attention when browsing the Internet and never take the statements made by random websites they encounter at face value, no matter how urgent or alarming they might seem.
