In my daily search for new malicious websites, I found Jwespeex.co.in. Jwespeex.co.in is another malicious website that tries to make people click the “allow” button to send out unwanted advertisements using the browser.

What is Jwespeex.co.in

Such a website is known as push notification spam. It is a form of spamming in which cybercriminals abuse the web browser’s notification functionality.

These notifications often appear as pop-ups or alerts on your desktop or mobile screen and can be triggered by websites you’ve visited. They typically aim to promote advertisements, scams, or malicious content and can be highly disruptive and potentially harmful.

Here, you see such spam notifications from Jwespeex.co.in; note that these notifications might vary in appearance.

This particular spam pop-up tries to convince you to click on it to turn on your antivirus. However, clicking on these ads takes you to a scam website that tries to sell you a subscription for an antivirus license. For example, a fake McAfee or Norton subscription page.
