Stable-scan.com shows deceptive and misleading messages to its visitors. The messages may be presented as security alerts or warnings coming from a reputable software vendor. One of the tactics confirmed to be propagated by the page is a version of 'You’ve visited illegal infected website.' As part of its fake scares, Stable-scan.com may even pretend to be running a threat scan of the user's device. The scan will inevitably discover multiple malware threats.
There are a couple of crucial factors to remember when dealing with any of the dubious websites similar to Stable-scan.com. First, the company whose name, branding, and interface (McAfee, in this case) is exploited as part of the tactic has no connection to the site. Secondly, no website is capable of performing a system, threat, or any other scan of this type on its own.
Usually, the goal of the site's operators is to earn commission fees through affiliate programs. They are trying to scare users into buying a subscription for a legitimate product. However, the tactic could easily be changed to start promoting invasive or risky PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).
