Windows-secureit.com relies heavily on fake scare tactics to run a variation of the 'Your PC is infected with viruses!' scam. Pages dedicated to this particular scheme attempt to convince users that their systems are infected with multiple dangerous malware threats and the only way to fix the situation is to buy a subscription for a chosen security product.
Even though users are typically directed towards a legitimate product, McAfee in this case, the scammers are earning illegal commission fees for each purchase made via the deceptive websites. It should be noted that neither McAfee, Norton, or any other reputable security vendor has any connection to these scam pages.
Windows-secureit.com in particular tries all kinds of deceitful tactics. It generates several pop-ups that are designed to appear as legitimate as possible but each has some glaring fault. For example, it shows an image that is supposed to be of McAfee's interface but the picture is of Norton anti-virus. The scam site also displays a fake malware scan, although no website is actually capable of performing such a scan on its own. Finally, users will also be shown a pop-up masquerading as a Windows 10 alert.
None of these messages should be trusted. The best course of action is to simply ignore the site, close it and its associated pop-ups, and move on with your browsing. Even if the promoted product is a legitimate one, users should still decline to buy or download it via a sketchy website that they randomly landed on.
