Safewinodws.com is a deceptive page that relies on questionable tactics to get users to land on it. First, due to its name, users can open the page by mistyping windows in their browser. Secondly, as most hoax pages of this type, Safewinodws is more than likely being promoted via rogue advertising networks.
The site itself is dedicated to the proliferation of a rather popular browser-based tactic. It involves tricking users into unknowingly subscribing to the page's push notification services. To achieve its goal, the con site usually shows various false messages designed to mask the true functionality of the shown 'Allow' button. One of the most commonly encountered fake scenarios, and one that Safewinodws.com has been observed to use, is pretending to do a CAPTCHA check. Users are typically greeted by an image containing a robot. It will be accompanied by a message similar to:
'Press Allow to verify that you are not a robot'
It appears that the behavior of Safewinodws.com can be modified, depending on different factors, such as the user's IP address, geolocation, browser type and possibly more. Indeed, the page may try to show messages in a language appropriate for the user's location.
Users that have pressed the button will soon notice an increase in the advertisements encountered while browsing. The advertisements generated by Safewinodws.com or other similarly untrustworthy sources should be approached with caution. Usually, they promote other suspicious third-party pages or try to lure users into installing invasive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that could be equipped with adware or browser hijacker functionalities.
