Superiorprotectionpc.com is yet another deceptive website looking to take advantage of its unsuspecting visitors. Users should keep in mind that rogue websites of this type are often capable of modifying their behavior, based on certain factors, such as the visitor's IP address and geolocation. As such, the exact scheme that is shown to each user could differ.

When cybersecurity researchers examined the site, they confirmed that Superiorprotectionpc.com is running a version of the 'Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!' scam. This scheme consists of scaring users into buying a subscription for a promoted application or installing a software product that is likely an invasive PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). The fraudsters often present their fake claims as coming from a reputable company - McAfee in this case. Of course, McAfee Corp. has absolutely no connection to any of these websites exploiting its name and branding.

The dubious site may even try to convince users that a threat scan it has performed has identified multiple, threatening malware on their devices. This is another completely fabricated claim, as no website is capable of running such a scan on its own. Users are strongly encouraged to disregard all of the messages shown by the page as Superiorprotectionpc.com also may ask them to enable its push notifications.
