Rogue Sites Like Stablepcprotection.com Often Trick Visitors with Fake Security Alerts
The content found on unauthorized websites can differ depending on the visitor's location, as determined by their IP address or other factors.
The Stablepcprotection.com page was observed promoting a variant of the 'You've visited illegal infected website' scam. The site shows visitors security alerts that claim to be from the legitimate McAfee company. However, this displayed false content is not associated with the actual McAfee Corp in any way. The scam involves an interface that looks like an anti-virus program, a system scan, and threat reports. Users should keep in mind that no website can scan their devices for threats on its own, and any such claims are entirely fabricated and should be ignored.
Typically, such schemes aim to deceive users into downloading or purchasing counterfeit anti-virus software, adware, browser hijackers, or potentially unwanted Programs (PUPs).
Furthermore, Stablepcprotection.com also tries to convince visitors to subscribe to its push notifications. If users grant the necessary permissions to the page, Stablepcprotection.com begin delivering numerous intrusive ads that promote online scams, dubious applications, or invasive PUPs to the users' device.
Do not Believe Security Alerts and Supposed Malware Scans Found on Sites Like Stablepcprotection.com
Websites cannot conduct malware scans of the user's device because it goes against the security and privacy policies that are in place to protect users. In order for a website to perform a thorough scan of a user's device, it would require access to the user's local files and potentially sensitive information, which could compromise the user's privacy and security.
Additionally, a website does not have the authority to access a user's device or perform actions on it without explicit permission from the user. This means that any claim that a website can conduct a malware scan without the user's consent or cooperation is likely fraudulent and part of an online scam.
Such claims are typically used in online scams to trick users into downloading and installing adware, browser hijackers, and other PUPs onto their devices. These scams often use scare tactics to convince users that their device is infected with malware and that they need to download a certain program or pay for a service to remove the threat. In reality, the program or service being offered is often intrusive, unreliable, or a way for scammers to steal personal information or money from the user.
Users must be aware of these types of schemes and to only download software or accept services from trusted sources. Users should also keep their devices updated with the latest security patches and run regular malware scans using reputable anti-malware software.
