Webdefencesurvey.com displays a Web pop-up designed to mislead you into believing that you need to renew an anti-virus subscription to remove viruses detected on your system. The notification is fake, while the prompt to resubscribe to Norton or McAfee may land you on a product purchase page that does not necessarily correspond to Norton's or McAfee's. However, if you make a purchase, it will earn the guys behind Webdefencesurvey.com a commission.
You will know that Webdefencesurvey.com is trying to scare you into buying an anti-virus product when you see a pop-up message that says:
'McAfee
Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!
ACTION REQUIRED!
Your Norton Subscription Has Expired!
Renew now to keep your pc protected.
If your PC is unprotected, it is at risk for viruses and other malware.'
The pop-up itself will show up on your desktop after you’ve landed on the Webdefencesurvey.com Web page (currently offline). You may have installed an adware package on your PC while downloading a software bundle or clicked on an advertising banner inadvertently. In essence, that's what adware programs do – they promote Web pages, sites, products and services. The problem is, they often may tout unsafe places, too.
Webdefencesurvey.com is tiny in the ocean of adware-like, browser-hijacking tools used to generate revenue to those willing to exploit them. You get many pop-ups, banners, and online promotions of all sorts while browsing the Web every day. In the end, it may turn into quite an annoying experience, which is why advertising hotspots such as Webdefencesurvey.com could easily fall into the Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) category.
When you expect to enjoy a flawless browsing experience, a constant influx of pop-ups is something you wouldn’t wish to see. That is why we recommend that you clean your PC with the help of reputable anti-malware solutions.
