If when you go online a pop-up by updatenotice.net encourages you to update your browser, you should immediately decline and leave the site. This domain doesn't promote actual updates. The suggested software is not something that will improve some features of the web clients. On the contrary, you may agree to install some Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) or even application designed to harm you. The fake update sites have flooded the cyberspace because some people still make the mistake to trust them. The pop-ups by updatenotice.net promise that the newer version of the web client will protect you from cyber threats. Ironically, the offered program may breach the security of your PC and expose you to other dangerous applications. Since updatenotice.net is not a legitimate platform, hardly anyone will type the URL manually. For this reason, the developers of this questionable site have created a browser hijacker. It comes as an add-on and sets the potentially harmful site as the homepage. As a result, the people are about to see the misleading update pop-up whenever they launch their web clients. Every site you visit gets information about the browser you are currently using, so the fake updates of updatenotice.net can adjust. If you visit the site through Chrome, you will be informed that Google Chrome is outdated. If you do it via Mozilla, the notification will claim that Mozilla Firefox is outdated, and so on. You should not waste any time, and should immediately perform a system scan with professional security software to delete the hijacker, which will mark the end of the deceptive pop-ups.
