Scanprotectiontoday.com greets its visitors with a flood of seemingly urgent and serious security alerts. The site will even display the results of a threat scan that has apparently uncovered several malware threats lurking on its visitors' devices. Another of the pop-ups will prominently display a rather distressing message 'McAfee - Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!' However, there is no need to worry about the safety of your data or device, as all of the messages displayed by Scanprotectiontoday.com are entirely fake and completely fabricated.

Indeed, the McAfee company is in no way connected to this dubious website, and its name, logo, branding, and design scheme are all exploited here as a prop to make the false malware claims appear more legitimate. As for the supposed threat scan, users should keep in mind that websites are incapable of such functionality on their own. The goal of the fraudsters responsible for Scanprotectiontoday.com is likely to be trying to earn fraudulent commission fees by directing scared users into downloading a promoted application or buying a subscription for one. 

In addition, Scanprotectiontoday.com also may try to convince visitors into pressing the shown 'Allow' button and subscribe to its push notification. This behavior is often observed in rogue websites that exploit the push notifications browser feature to deliver unwanted and intrusive advertisements to users.
