Be Careful with Messages Seen on Shady Pages Like Yourshields24.com
Yourshields24.com displays a message that claims a growing number of Android applications contain harmful viruses and malware and offers a complete Android antivirus to protect a device. This message also asserts that a security scan is required to check the device. However, it should be informed that the use of scaring language is a common tactic used by scammers and in deceptive marketing campaigns to create a sense of urgency and scare users. Trusting pages like Yourshields24.com could potentially lead to the installation of intrusive software products onto the user's device.
Another noteworthy detail about Yourshields24.com is that it requests permission to show notifications. These notifications promote various scams and other untrustworthy pages, and potentially malicious apps. For example, one notification generated by the page claims that a device is infected with multiple viruses and urges the user to remove them immediately. It should be noted that these notifications often include a fake technical support number. When the user calls the number, they are connected to a scammer claiming to be a legitimate technical support representative. The scammers may then try to trick the victims into paying for unnecessary services or to provide access to the computer system, giving them the chance to steal personal information.
Do not Allow Questionable Sites to Spam Your Device with Dubious Notifications
Users can prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications by taking a few simple steps. Firstly, it is important to be cautious of any unfamiliar websites that request permission to show notifications. Users should carefully read any messages that appear on their screen and avoid granting permission to sites that seem suspicious or untrustworthy. It is also recommended that users install and use a reliable anti-malware software, which can help detect and block malicious websites and other potential threats.
Additionally, users can adjust their browser settings to prevent spam notifications. Most modern browsers provide an option to block notifications from specific sites or disable notifications altogether. Users can access these settings by navigating to their browser's preferences or settings menu and selecting the appropriate options.
