Stayundercontrol.online

The Stayundercontrol.online page uses misleading and outright fabricated messages presented as security alerts to trick its visitors. This behavior is typical for rogue websites of this type. The exact tactic that users encounter on these sites may vary, based on the visitor's IP address/geolocation. Stayundercontrol.online has been observed running a variant of the 'Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!' scheme.

When users land on the page, they will be presented with a supposed security scan that is looking into their computers or devices for threats. No website is capable of performing such functions so this entire scan is completely fake. It is no wonder then that users will invariably be presented with scan results that claim to have found numerous malware threats. To further make their false alerts appear more legitimate, rogue websites such as Stayundercontrol.online often exploit the name and branding of reputable software vendors. In this case, the displayed pop-ups and messages could be presented as if coming from the established computer security company McAfee.

When the unsuspecting users click on the 'Proceed…' button shown in one of the misleading pop-ups, they would be taken to an official McAfee website via an affiliate link. This means that the operators of Stayundercontrol.online are using fake scares to direct users into buying a subscription for a legitimate product, while they sit back and earn commission fees. It should be pointed out that McAfee is not connected to any of the websites running these frauds.
