Here’s a spotlight on today’s candidate: Reacculandfon.co.in. This site is another in a long line of websites that deceive you into enabling notifications only to bombard you with spam pop-ups.

I’ve encountered Reacculandfon.co.in pop-ups across various websites associated with free software, downloads, and movies. It’s part of what’s known as malvertising campaigns, which are tactics employed by spammers to entice users into clicking malicious ads and generating revenue in the process.

The scheme starts with a landing page that prompts you to click ‘Allow’ to verify that you are not a robot. If you click ‘Allow’ (and you shouldn’t—but if you’re here, perhaps you already have), the trouble begins.

The browser starts sending out spam notifications that tell you your computer is infected with a virus.

These ads pose a real threat. Suppose you click on them, and your browser is redirected to a website that pretends to be a virus scanner, trying to sell you an antivirus subscription. As you might have guessed, this is where the spammers earn some affiliate money. That is the purpose.

Here is how to easily remove Reacculandfon.co.in. It’s not hard, pinky promise.
