The web page promotes scams and pushes browser notifications, and can redirect visitors to other untrustworthy pages.

However, no website can detect threats - any that make such claims are fraudulent. Usually, these deceptive messages promote unreliable software or malware. Furthermore, dybdended.com requested us to allow it to send browser notifications for intrusive advertisement campaigns that endorse online scams, dubious software, and malware.

What are fake warning messages on the web and why should you be very careful around them?

Fake warning messages on the web are deceptive messages that appear to be from legitimate sources, but are actually created by scammers. These messages often claim that a user's computer is infected with viruses and malware and prompt them to download malicious software or click on links that lead to malicious websites. It is important to be very careful around these fake warning messages as they can lead to serious security risks, including the installation of malware, data theft, and financial loss.

Why is it impossible for a website to know the security or infection status of your computer?

It is impossible for a website to know the security or infection status of your computer because it does not have access to the internal workings of your device. A website can only detect what is visible on the surface, such as the type of browser being used and the IP address. It cannot scan through your system files and detect any potential threats that may be present.
