Zeleboba.click

Zeleboba.click is a rogue website that has been confirmed to show deceptive content to its visitors. Although, the site is like to run a variant of the 'Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!' or 'You’ve visited illegal infected website' scams, it also could be able to display other misleading content, based on the user's specific IP address/geolocation.

Both tactics rely on misleading messages presented as security alerts or warnings. The dubious claims will carry the name or branding of a reputable computer security company as a way to make them appear more legitimate. In the case of Zeleboba.click, users will be led to believe that the displayed alerts are coming from McAfee, even though the company has no connection to the rogue website.

In addition, pages such as Zeleboba.click often pretend to run a threat scan of the user's device. These scans will invariably identify multiple security issues or malware threats. However, the shown results are entirely fabricated, as no website can perform such scans by itself.

The likely goal of Zeleboba.click's operators is to earn fraudulent commission fees based on affiliate programs. Unsuspecting users could be redirected to the legitimate pages of security software tools that have had an affiliate link attached to them. As a result, any completed transaction through the page would earn profits for the fraudsters. Of course, rogue websites also could easily be switched to start promoting untrustworthy and intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that may have adware, browser hijacker or even data-collection capabilities.
