How to Avoid Prime-scanner.com Ads

Prime-scanner dot com is a misleading website that displays scary but fake virus warnings to confuse visitors.

This type of misleading page falls into the broader subcategory of "fake virus warning" misleading websites. Those pages will contain images edited to look like the interface windows of a legitimate antivirus app, even though the misleading site has nothing to do with the legitimate app.

Those images will contain scary but invariably fake warnings about the health status of your system. Those may include warnings about viruses found on your computer or about the user having visited an "unsafe" page in the past.

Remember that those warnings are always fake, as it is impossible for an online page to have this information about your system.

This type of website will usually use those misleading fake warnings to push intrusive and potentially harmful ads in your browser by getting the confused user to quickly click "allow" in the "allow push notifications" dialog box that comes up.

If you run into a similar misleading page, remember you should simply immediately close it and disregard all the warnings on it.
