Rebis.live deceives people into buying unnecessary software with fake virus infection alerts

Rebis.live is a fraudulent website designed to scam users

When you go to a high-risk website and click on a misleading or fraudulent link, Rebis.live may be the site that appears. Some users, on the other hand, might already have adware or other malware installed, resulting in deceptive browser redirects to this page.

Users would be shown a system scan by a respected security firm Norton, after which results would appear. They say the system has been infected with viruses that must be eliminated and that the software's license is expired, and users must renew their subscriptions. However, everything about these claims is fake, as they are not created by anyone else by scammers seeking to profit from phishing^[1] messages.

Those who do believe the fake scan results provided by Rebis.live will be asked to click the “Proceed” button, which would immediately redirect to what seems to be a subscription page of security software. While the advertised software might be legitimate, it may not always be the case, and you might be shown malware-laden links.

It is also important to note that clicks anywhere on the page might lead you to other websites of similar nature, including Scanprotectiontoday.com, Cadom.live, Stally.click, and many others. The site also asks you to enable push notifications right after you enter, which could result in additional issues with intrusive ads being shown on your desktop regularly.

How the scam is operated and what to look out for

Because Norton is one of the most well-known and long-standing security firms, many people may connect its name with something trustworthy. The branding, logos, and feel of the protection software help Rebis.live get more credibility in a way by making users believe that the warning is genuine.

Many people fall for this tech support scam that uses false positives from what appear to be legitimate security scans in order to scare users into thinking their system is infected. In reality, these results can easily be faked with the help of simple page elements. The “detections” and pop-ups that are shown in the course of a few seconds are just an imitation.

The only way to get reliable virus scan results is through a reputable anti-malware program installed on your system. So if you see any warnings about virus infections upon accessing a website, know that they are most likely fake and immediately leave the page.

If users click the “Proceed” button, they are immediately redirected to a website where they must buy anti-malware. You don't need an additional tool if you already have anti-malware installed. Furthermore, scammers might send you to a site where you may download bogus security software that would actually harm your system.

Therefore, the best thing is not to interact with any buttons or links and definitely not purchase any software offered in such dubious methods. Not only may you disclose your credit card details to criminals during the purchase process, but you might also infect your device with malicious software.

Check your system thoroughly

More often than not, users come across scam websites when they are already on a high-risk site. For example, pirate movie streaming sites or illegal torrents typically have fake “Download” buttons and malicious scripts.^[2] From there, users might be redirected to any suspicious website, like Rebis.live.

If your browser is directing you to ad-filled or otherwise questionable sites, it's time to check for infections on your device. Adware, for example, is questionable software that specializes in delivering users pop-ups, deals, discounts, redirects, and other annoying advertisements while also monitoring user information in the background.

Thus, to get rid of the redirects to suspicious phishing websites and intrusive ads, you should check your system for adware. This suspicious software can be easily eliminated automatically, as long as you run a scan with powerful anti-malware, for example, SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes. Besides, security software can check the computer for other, more dangerous viruses that could be running in the background and performing malicious tasks without you knowing anything about it.

Since adware tends to monitor online user behavior, taking care of one's privacy is also important. To make sure that unwanted third parties are not longer tracking you, we recommend employing the FortectIntego maintenance utility to get rid of cookies^[3] and other web data, which is stored locally in cache folders.

Get rid of the push notifications

While the primary goal of Rebis.live is to deceive visitors into clicking affiliate links, it also makes use of additional strategies for monetization if users allow it. Users are invited to turn on push notifications as soon as they enter – a genuine browser API function is utilized to deliver any sort of information right onto their screens.
