How to remove thispcprotected.com notifications

What is thispcprotected.com?

Thispcprotected.com is a dishonest website that pretends to be an antivirus, specifically McAfee antivirus. When the user opens this web page, they are shown a window that looks like an antivirus window, telling the user that their PC is infected. This is not true, as thispcprotected.com is not a real antivirus, it is just a site that mimics one. It does not have access to your computer and cannot perform any real virus scans. The hackers are simply targeting inattentive and absentminded PC users with this fake, as well as people who are not good with computers. Why are they doing this? Simple, the website asks its visitors to allow it to show notifications.

Once the user clicks “Allow”, they will start receiving a lot of spam – advertisements, more fake pop-up alerts, clickbait “news”, as well as any other type of spam that the hackers thought up. This, of course, is very annoying, and any person who’s been a target of this would want to remove thispcprotected.com notifications from their computer. Read this guide to learn how to achieve this.
