Fake pop-up / scareware warning signs
Domain is only 37 days old. This looks like a fake-prize / fake-alert pop-up page used to push adware, push-notification spam, or unwanted software. Don't click "Allow" on notification prompts, don't install anything it offers, and close the tab rather than following any "claim" or "fix" button.

Score breakdown
See the live page ↓These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
If this is a scam — what it means for you
You were probably about to click 'Allow', 'Download', or a 'fix'/'claim' button.
If it is, nothing is actually wrong with your device and you didn't win anything — those buttons install adware, spam notifications, or lead to a fake-support scam.
If this is a scam, how it works
The typical trap, step by step
This site is unverified — it may be legitimate. If it is a scam, this is the playbook pages like it follow:
A pop-up screams “Congratulations, you won!” or “Your device is infected!”.
A fake countdown or alarm manufactures panic and urgency.
Clicking “Allow”, “Download”, “Scan now”, or “Call support” is the trap.
You get adware, spam notifications, and junk extensions — or a fake phone-support scam.
If a site follows these steps, treat it as unsafe — close it and don't enter anything.

Intelligence
The subdomain sits under ascendgrowthforge.com, a domain registered only 37 days ago through NameCheap with no business registration on file. Our antivirus network returned clean results, yet independent security researchers at PCRisk and Gridinsoft both documented the parent domain pushing browser notification spam via deceptive consent prompts. The page itself returned a 404 on the specific random subdomain, which is typical for these short-lived spam endpoints. The domain carries a 14/100 trust score on aggregator listings and zero positive mentions across review sites. These signals together outweigh the clean engine count and point to active abuse infrastructure rather than a legitimate service.

What to do
Fake pop-up / scareware page
This page uses fake "you won a prize" or "your device is infected" pop-ups to push adware, browser-notification spam, unwanted extensions, or a fake support number — none of it is real.
- Treat d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Close the tab — don't click "Allow", "Download", or "Call"
You didn't win, and your device isn't infected. Every "Allow notifications", "Download", "Scan now", or "Call support" button leads to adware, junk extensions, or a scam. Just close the tab — or the whole browser.
- If you clicked "Allow", turn the notifications back off
Open your browser's Site Settings → Notifications, find the site, and set it to Block (or remove it). That stops the spam pop-ups it now pushes to your desktop.
- OpenRemove anything it installed, then run an adware scan
Uninstall any browser extension, "player", "codec", or app you added because of this page, and run a reputable free adware / malware cleaner (e.g. Malwarebytes) to clear leftover PUPs. And never call a number shown in a pop-up — real vendors don't do that.
Final Verdict
This subdomain belongs to ascendgrowthforge.com, a domain flagged for browser notification spam. The parent domain tricks visitors with fake reCAPTCHA prompts to grant notification permissions, then pushes fake alerts and redirects to tech support scams.
Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com is a scareware / fake-pop-up page — the kind that flashes "Congratulations, you won!" or "Your device is infected!" alerts to push adware, browser-notification spam, unwanted extensions, or a fake support number. None of it is real — you didn't win, your device isn't infected, and its "Allow", "Download", and "Call" buttons all lead to junkware or a scam. Close the tab: don't click anything, don't allow notifications, and never call a number it shows.
- Proceed with caution — d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com scores 46/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- Almost certainly not from just loading it. d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com shows fake "you won a prize" or "your device is infected" pop-ups to scare or tempt you into clicking — the pop-up itself is the trick, not a real infection or a real prize. The danger is what happens if you act on it: clicking "Allow" turns on spam desktop notifications, and "Download", "Update", or "Scan now" buttons install adware, unwanted extensions, or PUPs. If you only saw the pop-ups and closed the tab, you're fine. If you clicked "Allow", block the site under your browser's Notifications settings; if you installed or downloaded anything, remove it and run a reputable free adware/malware cleaner (e.g. Malwarebytes). And never call a "support" number shown in a pop-up — that's a scam.
- No. The "Congratulations, you won!" and "Your device is infected!" pop-ups on d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com are fake — an automated ad-network page shows the same message to everyone who lands on it. You didn't win anything, and nothing actually scanned your device. The whole point is to get you to click: "Claim", "Allow", "Download", and "Call" all lead to adware, spam notifications, junk browser extensions, or a fake-support phone scam. Close the tab and don't click anything on the page.
- If you're getting pop-ups even after closing the page, you probably clicked "Allow" on a notification prompt — the spam now comes from your browser, not the site. Open your browser settings → Site Settings → Notifications, find d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com (and anything else you don't recognise), and set it to Block or remove it. Then uninstall any extension, "player", or app you added because of the page, and run a reputable free adware/malware cleaner (e.g. Malwarebytes) to clear leftover PUPs.
- No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
- No — d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
- d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com is 1 month old, registered on June 10, 2026 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
- Yes — d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 52 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
- d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 17, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about d9capkohubcc73em31jg.ascendgrowthforge.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
