Fake downloads are a trick that may not always be used to deliver malware or Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). In some cases, online con artists may use fake downloads to trick users into applying certain changes to their Web browser's configuration. The fraudsters may claim that the change is required to complete the download. This is the tactic found on Lewsheaned.club – a website that you may encounter if you try to download pirated content from the Web. Lewsheaned.club pretends to be 'preparing a download' and asks the user to confirm their download request by clicking 'Allow.' Completing this step, however, will result in subscribing to this page's intrusive notifications.

Browser notifications are meant to be a tool that legitimate websites use to deliver important updates and news, but Lewsheaned.club uses it for an entirely different purpose. The page will deliver advertisements of all kinds via Web browser notifications. You will see Lewsheaned.club's content regardless of the websites you visit, so you can imagine how annoying this can be.

If you see Lewsheaned.club notifications in your browser, we advise you to try to revoke this website's permissions via your browser's configuration panel.
