Yourdesktopdefence.com is an untrustworthy website that has been observed to carry out a popular online scheme. More specifically, the page has been confirmed to run a version of the 'Your PC is infected with 5 viruses' scheme. Users should keep in mind that the content displayed by rogue websites such as this one could chan, depending on factors, such as the visitor's IP address, geolocation, browser type, device type, etc.
Users rarely open pages such as Yourdekstopdefence.com intentionally. It is far more likely that the dubious site was encountered as a result of unwanted redirects caused by rogue advertising networks or invasive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). Once Yourdesktopdefence.com is launched, it will show several pop-ups containing deceptive and outright false claims concerning multiple malware threats being found on the user's device. One of the pop-up windows will imitate performing a scan for threats. Users should always keep in mind that no website is capable of such actions and that these claims are entirely fabricated.
To make its alerts and warnings seem more serious and legitimate, Yourdesktopdefence.com will display the logo, interface design, and brand of Norton anti-virus prominently. Naturally, legitimate companies, such as NortonLifeLock Inc. do not rely on questionable websites to promote their products. As such, Norton has absolutely no connection to this deceptive page.
Typically, the goal of the fraudsters is to convince the users to install a promoted dubious application that more often than not turns out to be an annoying PUP. Even if the promoted software product is an official one, the fraudsters could be trying to earn illegitimate commission fees from the transaction.
